Do you use dental floss?

I just bought online some dental floss. The dentist recommended it. But I can't use it. Or maybe I don't know how to use it. It's too thick and uncomfortable. It's like I threw the money because I am not going to use it. I saw videos and the dentist showed me how to use it, but I still can't use it. I prefer to use different things for my dental hygiene. I wasn't aware that I couldn't use dental floss. I bought a water flosser too. This seems more useful.

I think you just need to buy a floss that are thin, they have flat and round string. You can ask your dentist what's best for you.

Yes, sometimes. However, it is difficult to use because I wear braces. Most of the time, I just use a toothpick. I also use mouthwash to clean my mouth, and of course, toothpaste. Hehe

Same here, it gets stuck in between my teeth and I don't see much purpose in the way it works. I guess an electric brush that gets to the difficult spots would be way easier, and a mouth wash too.

Water flosser seems easier to use than dental floss.

i had a similar problem, but my dentist told me that there are different types of floss and that i should use the thin one or the one for kids because my teeth are really close to each other. maybe you could do the same
