How often do you floss your teeth

Question

Be honest. My dentist was giving me a hard time today. I always start with good intentions after a clean.... but then....erm.....

Answer 1

nope not me. like once a year

Answer 2

never. I've only flossed about twice in my life. I use the mouth wash that you use before brushing, brush twice and then use Listerine. My teeth are perfect.

I haven't had anything wrong with them in years.

Answer 3

i do it once or twice a day. i did it once a day for a long time, and then i used a plaque disclosing tablet, and there was still stuff left between most of my teeth even after flossing. so that's why i do it twice. i didn't start because a dentist told me to, but because i got free floss with some mouthwash. and once i started, i was grossed out that there was stuff left after brushing.

some people don't do it, and have no problems (yet), but  anyone with a brain knows that that's not proof that flossing isn't beneficial.

*this is not a lecture*

Answer 4

I don't, but my teeth are in perfect condition and I do not have bad breath at all. But then again, I brush my teeth for about 4 mins each time and swish around mouthwash for as long as I can.

My dentist was very happy with my dental condition. I doubt he would be though if he knew I don't bother to floss.

Answer 5

It entirely depends on you.  Flossing prevents tooth decay and even prevents bad breath.

Answer 6

Every night. look at it this way, it will help prevent tooth decay and it will help prevent bad breath, just think of all those particles of food stuck between your teeth rotting away, can't be good for your breath, or the people close to you that could possibly smell it to.
