Do you floss?

Ice Rich · 3 Jan 2007 at 19:30

Hi all,

Ive always liked to take good care of my teeth. Brush after everymeal, use mouth wash etc. My dentist recently suggested it is recommended to floss, Ive always considerd flossing something that old men do (dont know why), anyone here do it?

Thanks

I just brush my teeth, sometimes tongue, and use mouthwash.

I use floss now and again, I'm usually surprised to find some stuff buried away that no matter how well I brush, it just doesn't get.

Quick rub with my finger and a chocolate mint is enough tbh.

That's allright for you but I'd rather not have your finger in my mouth.

(answer: no)

I brush and use Dentyl ph mouth wash, amazing how much more stuff it pulls out.

Since I started using an electric toothbrush and flossing about once a week for the past 2ish years I'm finding that I need less work at the dentist, so it must be all for the good

< see my lovely white teeth!!!

lol

Four times a day is too much. You'll have no enamel left. I brush mine once a day, and if I go out or do something on the night (most nights) i'll brush them again.

Tried flossing a few times but its a real chore and my gums end up bleeding most the time.

yeah brush teeth and floss then mouth wash, once day, always fetch out loads of stuff from between teeth with it, hence why i do it
