"I don't floss"

I used to floss but it really gets tiring and time-consuming. I just make sure I brush my teeth really well and I am using a battery-operated toothbrush so I'm pretty sure it's better than just brushing with regular toothbrush.

Yes, I do. It's like a main rule when you're brushing your teeth. You are supposed to floss. My mom keeps reminding that to me especially my dentist. But I don't think a lot of people floss here. Although flossing makes your teeth cleaner and it reaches the dirt you can't take out with just a toothbrush.

I do and don't. I do when I have the time and remember. I'm sure someone is going to say "time?" Well when you have 3 kids and you are lucky to take a pee by yourself at any point in the day. And they take my floss and think it's a hoot to unroll the whole flip'n thing, every time. Where do I hide this? Where do I hide anything... their motto is seek & destroy!

I don't floss either I actually gave up on this idea a long time ago. I visit my dentist regularly, every six months and she constantly advises me that I should be flossing but I find it so difficult. I have decided though that I will just make sure that I brush my teeth really well twice daily and this should be more than adequate! I don't have any major problems with my teeth anyhow and I'm hoping that things will remain this way. Andrew

Hi there and smile! We all know that we should floss our teeth at least once a day, but how many of us really understand the range of flossing benefits? Using dental floss not only prevents tooth decay between our teeth, but it also plays a role in preventing gum disease, guarding against bad breath, and keeping our teeth clean and healthy looking. It is an integral part of good oral hygiene that many of us don't pay enough attention to. One of the most obvious benefits of flossing is that it enables us to remove large particles of food from between the teeth. Have you ever gotten a bit of popcorn or a stringy piece of orange caught between your teeth? It can be stuck fast and seem impossible to remove. If you worry at it with the tip of your tongue, you can make you tongue quite sore - or you can get a piece of dental floss and easily remove it, proving one of the great flossing benefits - comfort Happy mylotting and smile always!

Hello there, I do floss my teeth one time everyday. I will floss my teeth after lunch in my office. Many of my colleagues either floss their teeth or brush their teeth after lunch. I think it is quite a normal pratice in Singapore for OL (office ladies). Cheers =))

Flossing is important for dental health. In my dentist's office is a poster. It has a roll of floss and a set of dentures in a glass. The caption underneath says "Alternative to flossing". The moral of the story is either you floss or you may lose your teeth. Food gets trapped in your gums and bacteria builds. This same bacteria causes bad breath. You are subject to gum disease if you do not floss. Your toothbrush only reaches about 40% of your tooth. It is like taking a bath and only washing part of your body. LOL.
