I floss all the time

..I usually keep a bit in my pocket at work(so I can floss after lunch) and also floss while browsing (I just did lol) ..I get through lots of it,amazing what lurks in between the teeth (I've pulled out whole meals

practically)

I also brush regulary but only use mouthwash sparingly

My routine... morning and evening

1) Scrape tounge using tounge scraper.
2) Brush teeth.
3) Floss to get gunk out of gum crevices.
4) Mouthwash to gargle and rinse.

Job done.

Dont floss, but i trush my teeth and gums (very important!!) twice a day.

Ditto, havent had to have any work on my teeth since i have had my brace off 3 years ago, my dentist has moved me from 6 to 9 monthly appointments, good job considering he charges £30 for the privilege of saying everythings fine!

The routine I was told by my dentist years ago was to brush twice a day and use mouthwash - flossing once per day before you brush them on a night.

brush twice a day with my superduper Oral-B Sonicare ultrasonic skull vibrator, sometimes use DenylPH. I also have a whitening kit that I use too, paint on the whitener then paint on the catalyst and stand looking like wallace for 30 seconds while it dries....

My wife bought a Waterpik but it's pretty scary to use. It's like a mini jetwash and it gets rid of everything between your teeth. :eek:

I brush twice a day, use mouthwash twice a day, try to floss everyday, visit the hygienist twice a year and the dentist twice a year.

If you value your teeth you should all do the same.

I brush once a day, in the morning, occasional use of mouthwash and thats enought for me.
I've done this for 10+ years now and I've never had any work done at the dentist, minus the occasional clean.

Twice Daily.

Brush teeth and gums for 4 minutes, rinse, put more toothpaste on the brush and focus on tongue, roof of mouth for a minute or two.

I don't usually floss, my routine is pretty good and i've never thought I needed it. I might start giving it a try though. It scares me when people say they don't brush their tongues, it's pretty damn important.

Ok, you have me curious. Does this thing really work? How powerful is the jet - is it enough to dislodge "bits and pieces" from between the teeth?

Yep, my gums bled for the first few uses but they've settled down now.
