Do you floss every day?

No, but I water-pic every day...

Should I floss before, or after, they soak in Polident overnight?....

You kiddin? I might have tried it 3 times in my 67 years. Been diping copenhagen for 50 years. I do brush more than normal because of that, and I still have most my fangs!
By the way, ya know what you have if you put 32 guys from arkansas in the same room?

A full set of teeth!

Na, every other day though.
My tooth scraper told me I need to floss more right after she bled my gums.
I hate that stinking metal tooth pick she uses!

"Why does my dentist make me lie to him?"

"Do you floss your teeth every day?"

"Well, not every day. I guess the last time they were flossed was when...YOU did it!"

I never do, but I brush a lot. I went to get my teeth cleaned about a year ago, because I haven't had it done since I can't remember when. When the dentist asked when the last cleaning was, he freaked out when I told him it was when I was a kid. He was amazed how clean my teeth were and would have sworn they were cleaned within a year.

Every night! it is a habit now, I have trouble going to sleep unless I have flossed.
I still get the ultrasonic scraping which I hate! They should put those to use on the detainees in Guantanamo they'd have given bin laden up years ago.

You're asking me to be honest NOW? I've always been honest, unless it profited me with a "hottie" in the past, way...way...past!

+1 for the soaking in Polydent overnight.

Twice a day thanks to that crappy dentist that put these crowns in.

I took a job in Santa Barbara in 1974 which resulted in the best dentist and doctor I have ever had.

The doctor noticed that I moved around the country a lot so he suggested I start a file on all my medical visits with copies of important information included just like a car maintenance record.

The dentist started me using floss. He said that the most important thing is to floss daily followed up with brushing.

Since then I have learned from health newsletters that your health starts with your mouth. Recently they have learned that infection can spread to your blood and there are other related connections.

Also in general you should not have your teeth cleaned more than once a year. I have had the enamel worn off by cleaning in some places other than that I had perfect teeth.

The best tooth paste contains tea tree oil or grapefruit seed extract. Most health stores carry these items. Tea tree oil and grapefruit seed extract with kill any virus or bacteria.

Yep, after every meal. Even keep floss in the cars.

Be safe.

I try to floss every day. I'm lucky - I inherited strong tooth enamel. I'm 49 years old, have all my teeth except for the wisdom teeth (2 pulled, 2 never came in), and have never, ever, had a cavity or a root canal. And yes, I do brush with Crest.
