Be honest - do you floss daily? |
|
Because I do - I'm that kind of a person that feels bad if I go to bed without flossing. And I'm not even a dentist or anything, I just like the feeling of it.
Anyway, I just bought the best floss I ever had - Oral B Ultra Floss. It feels sooooo good. If you are a fan of flossing, you should definitely try it...

11. I got mine for 50 bucks... |
|
At BB&Beyond. Actually, my husband got it for me. It's so well worth the investment...
Oh, but if you mean the floss I was talking about, something around $3. :-)

5. Better than nothing! :-) |
|
I finally got from Santa my electric toothbrush last Christmas. It's not a Sonicare, but it does the job better than my manual for sure! Is really the Sonicare everything they talk about it?
PS.: You should floss, or no more dessert for you! ;-)

So NO MORE VIDEO GAMES FOR YOU! :P (come on, I have to give you some punishment for not flossing, or I won't be a good mom! ;-) )

2. if you listen to dentists, you're supposed to floss after |
|
every time you eat. I do once or twice a day, which means I am not doin it as often as they recommend.

8. Once you start, you get addicted... |
|
I was lazy in the past, I have to admit. But then I got pregnant and I was afraid of having gum problems. I had a cleaning at the very beginning of the pregnancy and from there to today I have been flossing everyday. It just feels good! ;-)

I floss at least once a day, since I have no dental insurance (or any insurance, for that matter), and a good brush'n'floss routine is far cheaper that a visit to the dentist.
I buy Glide floss in the giant spool - there's over 100 yards of the stuff on a spool, and it's kinda pricey, but it's worth it!
And, yes, I do feel guilty if I don't floss every day! :silly:

and I have yet to have a cavity, or any type of dental work. I brush regularly, and that appears to be enough.

18. See, that's so unfair... |
|
:-) I floss (well, even when I wasn't a daily "flosser", I'd floss at least 4 days a week), I brush at least three times a day and everything, but I have more cavities than teeth in my mouth... :-) Probably nobody would buy me if I were a horse!

But I do rinse my mouth out really well and squish it between my teeth with Listerine, which is said to have the same advantages. Duckie

15. me, too! but with those plastic doo-dahs with the floss built in them |
|
so I can do it one handed.
When those things are handy (like there's a bag of 'em on the car seat) I'll floss as often as I'm in the car. If they're not handy, then I'm lazy and just do the sonicare brushing.

With dental tape, not floss. didn't start until had some gum problems - they are cured and no more cavities. Now my mouth doesn't feel "right" until I've flossed.
Cheapest way to avoid higher dent bills there is.

I really should know better, since I've had a lot of teeth work done. It's a habit I really need to get better about...
