Do you floss?

I only floss a couple times a week. Well, I went to the dentist today for a cleaning/checkup and I just knew what was gonna happen. He was gonna floss my teeth and I would probably bleed and he would lecture me about flossing. Just as I predicted, at the end of the appointment, he says "David, you were bleeding when I flossed you, and this indicates to me that you are not flossing." Then he proceeds to lecture me for a few seconds about the importance of flossing.

I feel like Im in elementary school getting in trouble with the teacher.
 
I try to floss at least once a day. I'm not in the habit of doing it every time I brush, though, which means I forget a lot. 🙂 My dental hygenist lectures me, too.
 
I don't think I've ever flossed :Q I probably should. I brush every day of course (but only once). I guess my oral hygeine leaves a lot to be desired.
 
dude.

i get the same lecture every time.

so the one time he gives me it, i floss every single night up until the next appointment.

they still tell me i'm not flossing.

i'm like. "well of COURSE it's bleeding, you're poking it with sharp fvcking picks and sh1t"
 
Don't need to, using my Sonicare twice a day is good enough for me. My dentist doesn't bitch about me not flossing anymore, so I guess it works 😛
 
Bleeding a bit? Geez, I bleed every single time I go to the dentist. My gums usually bleed too when I brush my teeth. Always have.
 
I only floss when i'm back home for summer break or such.
At my apartment I never do, but I really should.
 
I'm getting ready to go in for a cleaning. If I get "the lecture", I will shut him down so fast, his head is gonna spin.

STFU! My mouth. I pay you to clean it! Clean it!
 
Haha! Yep, I get lectured every time. I only end up flossing maybe once a week, if that. I'm just too lazy to. I really need to though, since I've already been treated for gum disease (scaling and root planing, not fun!).

I need to find a deal on a Sonicare...
 
Haha to all the non-flossers. I'm sure as hell your breath will smell like sh!t in the morning, even after brushing the teeth.
 
I don't floss. Last time i went to the dentist my gums bleed like banshees. I got mad and haven't gone back to them. Every time I floss I bleed so why do i want to do it? I brush 3 times a day though.
