In keeping with my apparent obsession with oral hygiene today, how often do you floss?

In Christ alone my hope is found. He is my LIGHT, my STRENGTH, and my SONG!

Re: CPW: Flossing

  • I hate flossing and typically only floss if I've had corn on the cob for dinner. I'm gross like that.

  • I am trying to get in to an every day routine of flossing, but usually only manage 4-5 times a week.
  • If I didn't have my electric flosser, it'd be a lot less. I can't stand having my fingers in my mouth.

  • I've tried to get into a good flossing routine, but I always give up after a few days/weeks after a dentist appt. So, pretty much never, or only around when I see the dentist.

  • I never used to, but my periodontist worried me a few months ago so I quickly got in the habit of flossing every night. I was back to see him last week and he said everything looked great, so I know it's made a huge difference and I force myself to do it, even though I still hate it.I was the only one out of my four siblings to not need braces and I bragged about it all the time.  Now, here I am in my 30's, with still perfectly straight teeth that could potentially start falling out if I don't get my gums in check. No thanks!!! Flossing FTW!

    They say that means you're afraid to speak up about something.... If you believe in those sorta things.

    I also have a dream almost every night that my legs don't work, but I suspect that I dog getting on top of my legs.
