Do you regularly floss your teeth?

[Keerock]

1-2 times per week here

 

[zamboni]

Every day - have for years after I experienced some painful gum work by my dentist back in the day.

Plus, this guy got to me early.

 

[Poke_4_Life]

Yes, probably average 1.5 times per day. I don't always take the time in the morning, but always before bed.

 

[Mitchie]

Every day should be a poll option, that's somewhat common i would think, I've had some dental issues so I do twice a day these days after not flossing at all when i was younger.

I floss every day. You'd be amazed at how much it can improve your overall dental health.

 

[jvdesigns2002]

At least once per day.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

I don't understand "Only when necessary"

 

[wlwiles]

I'm opposite - always in the morning but maybe only 1/week before bed, usually only if I notice something still stuck from dinner.

 

[Keerock]

Less than once per week. When you feel something in your teeth that brushing will not removed. Work with me here...

Well, in keerock's defense, he is an unfrozen caveman lawyer. I don't think dental hygiene ranks very high on the list. Probably falls somewhere between hunting and gathering.

 

[Timmay]

I rarely flossed before the dental floss pickers were easily accessible. Now I floss after just about every meal. I would say on average 2.1 times a day.

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

I floss 1-2 x a day now. Didnt floss much at all as a kid.


As a former non-flosser - I PLEAD with you guys who arent flossing a few times a week, PLEASE FLOSS - There is no debate, you 100% have food in your mouth from several days ago. Think about that for a minute.

Also, if you aren't using a tongue scraper things you are gonna vomit when you see how much crap is stuck your tongue.

 

[Wildcat]

Daily. Always before bedtime, but also after I eat a beef jerky snack. I use floss picks.

 

[Wildcat]

Agree. I don't feel once/week is "regularly." If you aren't flossing daily, it's not regularly.

 

[kupcho1]

On the other hand, I only use deodorant when I see people crossing the street ahead of me to avoid the stench. I.e., only when necessary.

 

[Sullie]

Floss after meals but I also use a cordless WaterPik before bed.

 

[gianmarco]

For those that don't floss every day, get some floss, floss your teeth, then take a whiff of what's on there. If that doesn't get you flossing every day, not sure what will.

I use these regularly. Keep them in the shower, in the car, and if I'm out for a while, I bring one with me in my pocket just in case. Flossing in the shower is the easiest way to remember and to get it done without difficulty.

 

[NorvilleBarnes]

I floss on Zoom calls.

This.

I assumed it meant the day before a dentist appointment.

 

[Osaurus]

I use one from time to time, but in addition to flossing

 

[nirad3]

Sigh. I don't floss.

 

[Drunken knight]

not as often as i should

Father is a periodontist

 

[Schmeabs]

I brush every day but floss occasionally.

 

[ShamrockPride]

buying one now just out of curiosity

I never knew they were a thing until about 10 years ago. A dental assistant gave me a plastic one and I tried it out.

 

[Keith R]

Yeah, I thought that would be the threshold, not weekly. And then I saw the results for weekly are barely over 50/50

 

[Gally]

I hardly ever floss. Only when necessary is where I fit. I do it when I have something stuck that bothers me. I am about ready to turn 51 and have had two cavities in my life. My dentist always said my teeth are great. When I do remember or think to floss "just because" I rarely, if ever, get anything out from between my teeth. I guess I am just lucky.

 

[RG623]

Use this daily before flossing. My dentist comments about my gum health being one of the best he sees.

 

[Dr. Octopus]

Sometimes something gets stuck between teeth.

 

[urbanhack]

I'm trying to do it 1 - 2 times per week...but I often fail.

 

[Terminalxylem]

Yep. Also surprised so many people floss infrequently, or not at all.

 

[jobarules]

I try to use Water pik every night but do skip when I'm exhausted so I'd say every other night.

Here's what I'm picturing: jobarules' waterpik

 

[STEADYMOBBIN 22]

Where is and whatever happened to the @Dentist? He got tired of being the FBG dentist?

 

[3C's]

I keep a bag of bristle picks in the car and use those often. I have a waterpik that I use every day...when I'm getting close to my 6 month appt. I do use the waterpik but not as often as I should. It certainly made a difference when I was using it every day.

Wife flosses in the shower with regular floss and often forgets to throw it away. I figure that makes it okay for me to pee in the shower.

 

[metoo]

Almost half of yall's gums are trash.

 

[gianmarco]

Almost half of yall's gums are trash.

Top half or bottom half?

 

[NutterButter]

I floss after all 7 of my daily meals

This is where I am. I'll floss if something is bugging me, like I can feel something in between. Maybe I do my entire mouth once a week by happenstance, where I target something I feel, get that out, but then I'm like, well I already have the string out, may as well do em all.

I have 1 filling I got in when I was like 10, but nothing aside from that. End of every visit my dentist tells me how awesome my teeth are looking.

My dad was a dentist, had a sign up in the office that said "you don't have to floss all your teeth, just the ones you want to keep".

I am an irregular flosser

My dentist from when I was a kid had that same sign and I'll never forget it.

Of course, I didn't floss as a kid, but I have now for a while. It makes a difference.

 

[The General]

Twice a day.

I got tight teeth and build up plaque easily. It’s a gift.

“You hitting on me, doc?”

this is me as well.

but a few weeks in advance of my dentist visit, I'll start flossing most nights... just to make sure I don't start bleeding on the guy when he starts poking around.

last thing my dad advised regarding dental care- Sonicaire. he swore by those things.

 

[Judge Smails]

Yes. But really religious the last month before a cleaning.

 

[DocHolliday]

I floss every night and have for many years after never flossing until I was in my early 30s. I can’t go to sleep unless I do at this point.
