I guess if you clicked on this thread, you knew I was talking to you. Hey! Why don’t you just loving floss???      It’s like the lowest effort thing you can do to have better teeth/gumhealth. Helps stop your breath from smelling like rear end too. Even those floss picks for pussies are super helpful. I started flossing because my dentist told me too. And now whenever I’m there she pushes her giant boobies up against me while she admires my clean teeth. More people would want to tongue-kiss you too if you have a clean mouth. Remember! If you don’t floss, it’s like your constantly tossing your own salad. WHAT’S YOUR EXCUSE????

I use those cheap disposable mini dental brushes and they rule. I actually have one on my desk and when I'm in a boring meeting I just scrape around in my teeth looking for stuff. Sometimes I find food I didn't know was in there and it rules, cause it's free surprise food. It's a cool hobby you can do while working

Flossing feels amazing especially at the end of the day if you've eaten meat. You can feel the relief of not having rotting food packed between your teeth.

i started flossing daily many years ago because the dentist said it would help with tartar buildup. it didn’t do a goddamn thing. neither did switching to an electric toothbrush or using a mouth rinse. it’s all a scam, but it’s a habit now so i floss and brush twice with an electric toothbrush every day anyway. never had a cavity before, still haven’t after, but still get a lot of tartar buildup and need a cleaning every 6 months exactly as before. at least it isn’t hurting anything  anyway, they shouldn’t call it tartar because there’s already a sauce with that name.

I scrape my tongue before rinsing with water, then top it off with a swish and gargle of original mouth burning Listerine because I want my mouth to feel sanitized. Any mint Listerine or what-have-you tastes like sugar-free water to me and leaves a bad taste in my mouth. And yes, I floss constantly and always carry a couple of the pick-‘n’-floss things with me because having food stuck in my teeth for even a second drives me crazy.

The little interdental brushes are good until you bend one, stab it into your gum and bleed everywhere.

I compulsively floss after every meal. I cannot abide the feeling of food stuck in my teeth. its kind of a weird thing, because people don't like to see other people flossing (haha haters & clout chasers) but I'm absolutely not going into the bathroom after lunch and loving with poo poo in my mouth. Thankfully I work remote but previous jobs I would feel extremely self concious and go out to my car to floss

You don't actually have to use floss to clean your teeth. Interdental brushes are faster, safer, easier to use and probably even more effective. Floss is snake oil.

GABA ghoul posted:It's been years but IIRC some of the many studies found it had no statistically significant effect on tooth health. You can probably google it very easily. They are likely of equally bad quality, but the point is that there are conflicting studies I think the important part is that you’re cleaning the plaque from between your teeth. Floss, waterpick, interdental brush, whatever. Just do SOMETHING

just make sure if you do floss, you do it before you brush. it loosens debris and splashes the rotten gunk between your teeth around your mouth that you want to brush away. i’ve known people who floss after brushing and that seems grosser than not flossing at all.

i floss twice a day op. to those who foolishly question flossing: try doing it after brushing your teeth. admire all the tiny flecks of food and other miscellaneous poo poo that brushing failed to remove. then realize, you need to loving floss you gross piece of poo poo!
