Teeth cleaning toolsFor the record, I brush my teeth. I floss too. Regularly. I am told by dentistry professionals that I have nice chompers. No cavities. (I thought I should start this post with this declaration.)

When I floss my teeth, I notice that the little bits of food that get pulled out from their hiding places by the dental floss are always a sallow, gross yellow. Whether I had burgers, chicken, pasta, or soup, the stuck bits of food are always a similarly disgusting hue of yellow.

Why is that? It’s pretty gross.

    You’re mouth is part of your digestive system. It gets all of the nutrients out of the food that it can which incombination with mixing with mucus is why they turn yellow.

    That was a bad sentance. I haven’t had coffee yet.
