After being a lifelong hater of flossing, I started doing it in earnest about a week, maybe a week and a half ago, mainly because I'm afraid of getting another cavity. And this may be kind of nerdy, but I LOVE it. Sometimes I do it twice a day. It's like, I never knew my mouth could feel this clean.
Anybody else a fan of flossing? |

I'm very much into flossing. My family has a history of having really bad teeth. My son has already had two dental surgeries and he's 9 so yeah, flossing is GOOD.
I don't like using tradtional flossing methods though, like taking the string out stuff. I prefer disposable flossers. It's easier, quicker and much cleaner in my opinion. |

I usually don't have enough time to do it daily, so every other day or so I will do it. The floss likes to get stuck in my back teeth, though, which is really not comfortable.

I always floss. I smelled the string once and it was horrible, so I floss at least twice a day now.

Everyone should floss, but nobody really does. I try and make up for it by using Listerine.

hmm I used to never floss, but I got in the habit of flossing everyday when I had my braces (even though it was such a pain
 took like 10 minutes with braces). The best floss I've used is Crest Glide! It hardly frays or gets stuck like those thread ones.

QUOTE(Krisaweanie @ Nov 18 2008, 08:53 PM)  I always flossed because my parents trained me ever since i can remember. I don't use traditional floss though, those little ones attached to plastic heads; easier to handle. If I do end up flossing, it's with those little plastic guys. |

I literally just used one of those because I ran out of my floss so I had to use what my parents have and it was sosososo much easier than the regular way. *is now a fan*

^ I like em too, they just need to make them with a bent handle because it's still hard to get to the back of the teeth.

Ever since braces I've been a flosser. I floss after every meal..I have no cavities & feel more confident knowing my mouth is healthier.

Flossing is a pain when you have braces. Even when i only have braces on the top row of my teeth, still a pain............ flossing is a must for me nowadays, smells gross after a while depending what I eat. =_="

^x2 How the hell do you even do it?
My orthodontist told me to, but I just haven't made an effort to because it doesn't seem possible for me D: Before braces, I barely flossed. I sort of have sensitive gums so when I flossed, they would bleed. |
