The scariest question you will ever hear: ”Do you floss?” I hate hearing that question. The answer is always “no” and they always give you that look of “you should know better.” Well I am about to change that. Since Colette had some expensive dental work done she decided to floss, brush, and use mouthwash. She has unknowingly dragged me along. Today marked day 5 (planning on posting this in a few days so I guess I’m really committed now) of flossing, brushing, and using mouthwash. (Note: the only thing new is the flossing and mouthwash). Hopefully the end result of this will be a healthier gum line and a cleaner mouth and teeth. As well at my next appointment I will be able to say, “yes I do floss everyday.”
Tell me, do you floss?
(Note: do not google pictures of dental floss).

sometimes.
it’s gross. and painful.
After I had my surgery, I was really good about flossing for like, 6 months. I don’t know what happened, but somehow I got out of the habit and now I hardly ever do it.
No, but I need to. Some lady @ the dentist said if I was really good @ flossing for the next 6 months then she might not have to scrap my gums.
I do now. After a 20 min. lecture while the hygienist was cleaning my teeth, I gave in and promised her I’d start (just to shut her up.) I’ve done pretty well, and remembered almost every day since then.
Whatever, dentists have to tell us that but in truth they don’t want us to because that equals more money for them. I don’t want to give them more of ours…
