Do you floss?

I would like to start flossing, but I think my teeth are too close together on the bottom middle. Feels weird to stick something in there. Is this normal?
 
Brushing and flossing go hand in hand. Mouthwash isn't enough. Flossing is a mechanical way to get in between your teeth where brushing can't reach.

What I tell my patients, if u floss and your mirror isn't messy from the plaque, you aren't doing a good enough job.
 
I floss, but not every day. A couple of times a week is enough for me.

I do have one particular gap on one side of my mouth that is prone to catching stringy foods and such. After such a meal, I *MUST* floss at least that gap to dislodge the food or else I will be very uncomfortable. Toothpicks are rarely enough to clear it all out, either.
 
Yes. I have a small gap in my back teeth on one side and it loves to catch food. If I skip flossing for even a day I will really regret it the next time I floss. 😛
