Teeth-friendly caulk

Flossing is tedious and often painful, but according to dentists is a necessary part of our daily routine. One way to eliminate this bothersome activity would be to use existing fill-things-up technology to seal the cracks in between teeth, thus eliminating the bother altogether. Perhaps in some cases non-toxic caulking solution could be applied, or maybe mint plants could be crossed with a hearty breed of moss which could be then planted and encouraged to thrive in-between teeth and near the gumline which would completely eliminate the need for flossing, decorate otherwise plain teeth, and leave your mouth minty fresh 24 hours a day.

       Hey, just because it might be baked doesn't mean I don't like it. I'm picturing a little caulk gun and spade.

       That would get annoying having stuff between my teeth. Ever wonder why people use toothpicks?   

       Still.... nice mental image.

       + for the idea, but chewing gum works too for getting stuff out of your teeth.
