Be honest...do you floss every day?

[G-Mac]

I'll be 54 in a couple weeks and still have all my original teeth. Yeah...I've got some crowns but I don't have to take my teeth out before I go to bed. Went in for a cleaning/checkup yesterday. Hygienist says I need to floss more....every day....plus recommended Listerine. Just wondering...how many people floss every day?

Is this a poll?

Mostly everyday.

Only when I have food stuck between my teeth

Nah...I just wanted to see who flossed more...Yankees or Rebels.

Every tooth, every meal.

My dentist told me years ago it wasn't necessary to floss all your teeth. Just the ones you want to keep.

I stopped flossing

I stopped flossing when I got some caught between my teeth and I couldn't pull it out and neither could my wife. (I have very uneven teeth) When I finally yanked it out my jaw hurt for 3 days. Now, every day I use the little thin toothpick looking thingys with the teeny built in brush and it works well. Always finding something I didn't know was there. Oh, and I'm from the South but not a rebel. More of a scalawag.

I guess the folks with five teeth can floss with their finger.

Every day! I could't sleep if I didn't floss.My mouth just would't feel clean. Sonora

at least once a week, until about a month before my cleaning. Then every day...ish

 

[chief38]

3 times a day - no kidding.

 

[gregintenn]

At least once a day without fail.

I cannot get in between all my teeth
Some are too close together

No, my Wife does, but I brush three times a day and chew a Milk Bone.

That was YOU that I saw the other day?

Does wearing a thong count?

Probably not.

Never mind.

Yessir

After every meal...religiously. And use the "pick" as well. All my real teeth...thank goodness.

Be safe.

 

[USAF385]

Pffff..... I'm lucky if I even BRUSH once a day.....

 

[windsearcher]

well, AT LEAST twice a year..... usually that is when the hygenist at the dentist does it. :-(

Should do more I guess......

 

[Stephanie B]

Every day. I've got all of my own teeth and I want to keep them.

I've been flossing every morning for some time now. Formerly I didn't, because my former hygienist told me it HAD to be done at night, after all the eating is done for the day. I get so tired before bed I never could establish the habit at that time. Then my present hygienist told me it didn't matter what time of day it was done; the benefit would still be realized. I began doing it in the morning and now my gums and teeth are in much better shape.
