If you still have all your own teeth....

[GuiltyPleasure]

...how often do you floss?

[poll coming - give it time]

5-7X/week. May I ask why you asked?

Curiosity, pure nosiness.

Never, ever, ever. But I always lie when the dental hygienist says she can tell I floss every day. They get so disappointed when you have great teeth and gums without flossing....

 

[DopeyAngel]

Flossing always hurts. Urgh.

 

[GuiltyPleasure]

I'm assuming not many of you have your own teeth. That'll teach you not to floss.

I thought this was going to be a joke:

If you still have all your own teeth.... you aren't British.

It'll catch up with you eventually...

Brush 3x a day and floss at night before the bedtime brush and after the rinse. And I have these cool little brusher flossers called "go betweens" that I dip in Listerine every other day and floss with at night.

I floss daily. I plan on selling my teeth when i'm 65, part of my retirement plan.

Wow, that's an amazing idea!!

Ive got the original set minus a couple of waybacks. Gnawing thru barbwire and opening beerbottles notwithstanding.

3+ a day. I hate the feeling of stuff between my teeth.

 

[LadyAria]

I prefer to water pik over floss. Brush 3-5 times a day depending on how often and what I eat. All original teeth with no fillings. I've always had a thing about teeth/breathe though.

I have my own teeth...and have never had a cavity...not even in my baby teeth. I floss about 3 times a week.

If you still have all your own teeth, why are you living in a trailer park?

If you can afford a computer why are you still living in a cardboard box?

me too, if I go out or to bed sans flossing I have to find a way to rectify the situation asap.

OK, all origional teeth but one which broke twenty years ago when I flossed daily. Since then, floss prn, maybe once a month. Dentist said I will die with all of these teeth still in my head. (He then injected me with poison... sorry, too tired to keep my thought out). But seriously. See the hygenist maybe annually for cleaning. Doc added I had no gum dz or any issues.

 

[curvysexpot]

My dentist actually told me I needed to floss less... I was messing up my gums b/c I brush and floss after I eat, anything. So I try to only do it two or three times a day, but it's a work in progress.

I have a very bushy moustache, which I frequently run my teeth through.

I don't have all my teeth...owing to certain hockey and karate misadventures, not hygiene issues.

I'm 50 now. Eventually's gonna have to hurry... The dentist knows I don't floss and he says my teeth are in great shape. "Whatever you're doing works. Keep it up."

 

[bronzeage]

I like barbeque and a good flossing is like a second helping.

...how often do you floss?

[poll coming - give it time]

I have ALL of my teeth. But I only floss the ones that are still in my mouth.

It seems that, years ago, the great grandmother of The Blood Fairy, The Tooth Fairy, not only left coins in exchange for deciduous teeth left under my pillow, but saw to it that those very teeth were transmitted to a secret compartment in one of my mother's larger jewelry boxes back in Montana. Now, this was true even when my dad and I weren't even living in Montana -- like overseas someplace or other.

Now, not that it makes any sense to me, but it did (does) to my mother -- when my older sister lost her battle with breast cancer, my mother gave me the collection of my baby teeth to keep in my own jewelry box. I like them, but they are disgusting to everyone else, so I never take them out -- even to floss them.
