No, there's nothing gross about flossing. But it's what you're notdoing with your floss that may raise some eyebrows. Let me explain: I was chatting with some friends a few months ago, and somehow we got on the subject of flossing (a bunch of party animals, we are), and one of the gals said her dentist told her that she should be smelling what comes out of the floss (you know the little bits of food on the floss).

Yes, the advice was to put your nose up to the floss to see what it smells like. A gross, rotten smell indicates an overgrowth of bacteria between your teeth, which signals decay and means you should be doing a better job flossing (morning and night, for example). A normal, non-offensive scent means you're doing a good job. 

Before this advice, I have to admit, I'd never took a whiff of my floss. Now I have to know: Do you?

P.S. Guess what could be growing in your pillow. And, this is just gross news: pools are icky.
