Wouldn't you agree?

I think you're doing it wrong if your ass hurts.

Use those disposable flosser thingies; they make it so much easier and you get a lot of gunk out from between your teeth! I like the ones with two lines of floss so they trap all the crap between them.

 

[AVAFREAK182]

I like the clean feeling but its just annoying to do it. I do it like once every two days.

How often do you guys?

 

[irishScott]

Not really. Takes about 3 minutes or less. Suck it in. I do it every night.

 

[mchammer187]

I do it usually after every meal if I have access to floss and I need to

I just hate the feeling of food stuck in my teeth

This. Though, it doesn't take me 3 minutes.

 

[moshquerade]

only floss the teeth you want to keep.
actually, i floss, brush AND i use a rubber tip http://www.saveyourteeth.com/images/Stimulator.jpg

I use the helper things. It's so easy that it takes less than a minute.

This is really lame, but my dentist challenged me to floss as a New Year's resolution ten years ago, now I HAVE to floss before I go to bed each night.

disposable floss sticks rock... they dont tear up... your hands dont smell like rotten-teeth... they make it easy to reach... i enjoy flossin with it

 

[wwswimming]

i do it twice a day. i got religion about dental care about a week before the
election because i had a dental appointment with 8 cavities.

gave up Sierra Mist & Mug Root Beer cold turkey. no more raisins, no more
herb tea with honey in it.

i had so many appointments i learned the tooth numbering & the terminology.

 

[will889]

Twice a day. Sometimes just once but usually twice a day.

 

[Red Squirrel]

I should do it every day but I only end up doing it here and there, or after a meal where I have stuff stuck. I tend to mouth wash regularly though.

My biggest issue is pepsi. That stuff is really bad for the teeth. In my past few appointments I've had small cavities starting. I just can't give it up, though I slowed down a lot, and now I always have a glass of water right after I'm done one. What makes it worse is when you drink one then just leave it at that. The acid eats away at the enamel. If you drink it with food or rinse (never brush!) your teeth after it helps. Not sure by how much though.

I used to hate it. Then got disposable flossers, like mentioned above. I think I can do a good job in under a minute.

Disposable flossers FTW

What's the rubber tip stimulator for?

I can't use the disposable things because my teeth so are frigged up and close together that the floss would always come off the pole.

I do use regular floss a couple times per week.

 

[Miramonti]

Get a battery powered flosser, *very* effective and easy to maneuver in and out of teeth.

/edit: I use this Reach one. Effective, quick, and refills are relatively cheap.

 

[shortylickens]

I too must recommend the disposable flossing devices. You can pick up a hundred-pack from the drugstore for a very reasonable price. They make it a lot faster & easier and dont cost too much more than a spool.

 

[Kalvin00]

Those disposable things are a joke. I don't see how you can use them...

Traditional spool of floss for me.

LMAO. Seriously though I like Plackers, I go through 2 or 3 a day. I cant stand food in my teeth.

I've actually started doing it once a week to keep my dentist off my back. For the last 15 years, they've been asking me how often I floss; I saw once every few days (more like once a month or when my gums started feeling weird). Either I grew a brain or I finally got a cute enough dentist.
