On June 29th, 2011 my husband, step-son, and I headed to the Lowell Spinners game for floss night. It was the first event of this kind sponsored by the Massachusetts Dental Society. As attendees entered the game they received a small packed tooth floss pick. At the fourth inning everyone opened their floss and began to floss their teeth. A world record was set for the most people flossing their teeth at the same time, 3,014 to be exact. Also throughout the game fans participated in dental related activities. They had a spelling bee with dental terms, a race around the bases against Mr. Bristles, a toothbrush mascot, and dental trivia. The Lowell Spinners won that night 3-2 but I think the real winners were the fans who walked away with a little bit more knowledge about their oral health.
