QOTD

Do you floss? How many times a day?

I floss when I think of it, I get on kicks where I do it everyday and then I stop. But I do brush my teeth everyday =) I don't get off of that kick, lol! 

Re: QOTD

  • Typically once a day, but I really try hard to do it more. I brush at least twice but usually three times.

    Pregnancy has really effed up some of my brushing habits though, mornings no matter how hard I try I cannot use my electric toothbrush turned on.

  • Floss all teeth... maybe once a week. Maybe. I'm really bad about it... But I always "floss" in between my two front teeth. Its not true flossing.. I shove toothbrush bristels between my two front upper teeth because I have a bad habit of sucking air through them, and if I dont, and cant pull air through them I get a bad headache.

    I couldnt either! And I had to switch to cinnamon toothpaste for the first trimester because all things minty made me barfy.

  • No, I am so bad about flossing.  The dentist even gave me one of those reach handle flossers and it's still the in package. Embarrassed

    DH is really good about flossing now that this new dentist was able to fill in his front teeth where he had a ton of fissures.  He was super self conscious about it and now that the dentist was able to fix it, he wants to take good care of his teeth.  I need to take note and follow.

  • I floss every night!

    Thats what I have - I would probably NEVER floss if it weren't for that thing. It makes it waaaay easier.

    I'm really bad about flossing. I do it if I remember, but most of the time I don't. Fortunately, my denist  has not said anything about me not flossing; he does say I have very pretty teeth, so maybe it looks like I floss. Hmm??
  • I am horrible at flossing, but I do get on kicks and do well as others said.  DH uses the reach flosser thing. I can't do it though.  It gets stuck in my teeth and I feel like either it's going to break, or I'm going to pull a tooth out.  I have to use the glide floss.

     

  • I'm really bad about flossing. I'm so tired by the time I go to bed that after the 2 minutes on the electric toothbrush I'm done.  I'm working on once a week and I'll go from there.

  • I am awful at flossing. I do it a day or so before my appt. According to the poster I see at my dentist when you do this it is called a "dentocram." oh wow, love that dentist humor. DH is so good and flosses daily.

  • I floss only if:

    1. I have something stuck in my teeth

    2. It's 30 mins prior to a dental visit.

    I'm terrible with flossing and get lectured by my dentist during every visit.
