Just went to the dentist last week and he told me my cavities are quickly taking a turn for root canals.

I floss now.

never ask a guy with one tooth for directions. ask the one legged guy he knows ALL the shortcuts.

I don't floss often enough. Though I do use an electric toothbrush. They do a much better job than a normal brush.

I use those plastic floss things they make. I keep them at work. It's much easy then the manual stuff.

I used to floss maybe once a week or less. Now I floss once a night before bed
(those Reach flossers are great....got it free on ATHD:D), along with brushing w/ a sonicare toothbrush twice a day. Went in for a cleaning after not having been to the dentist for 5 years +, and there wasn't even anything for them to scrape off. I think the sonicare made a big difference in picking up the slack when I didn't floss.

2-3 times a day is excessive don't you think?
I think you meant 2-3 times a week.
Change your poll.

I floss at least 3 times a week.

I have gotten so used to flossing that when I don't do it I feel unclean...like if you forget to brush in the morning

Edit: once per day for me
