Orange Teeth
I've always been a fan of oranges, particularly navel oranges when I was young. I'd come home from primary school, grab two oranges from the fridge, peel them and eat them in bed while reading my favourite storybooks. Then I came to Melbourne and discovered the joys of year round mandarin oranges that didn't need peeling (or at least very little effort). Until my friend admonished me when she heard I eat about 3 of them a day.
"You do know mandarin oranges are 'heaty' right? It's probably contributing to you getting sick all the time."
Argh! So I'm back to cutting and peeling navel oranges instead. Incidentally, I think eating navel oranges is hard work. The pulp always gets stuck interproximally - leading to impromptu flossing sessions. Which is a good thing in the long run considering I only floss about once every 2 days instead of the recommended twice daily along with toothbrushing. But still!
I wish there were magical orange peelers and juicers that do all the work. Somehow packed orange juice just isn't the same compared to freshly juiced oranges. Sigh.

Well, that's relatively normal I believe. Flossing is hard work.
However, as a future dentist I must advice you to floss more often unless you want to get gum disease. Lol.

Only 3 a day? I can have 1kg a day during mandarin orange season here. :p
