Flossing

[Benja]

pumps a stream of water as you run it along your gum line, knocking off food particles and other bad guys

Woah. You own cool things.

I feel like it wouldn't get in between teeth like flossing does but maybe it would. (look at me becoming a flossing nerd)

If somebody caught me using that I feel like I would look ridiculous.

i have good teeth but bad gums, it has helped immensely

[Benja]

Ok

[Tobias]

if your gums are bleeding more than very occasionally when you're flossing, that's bad

I only floss once a year, and it's immediately before the tailgate for the biggest home game of the year.

I have my answer, see previous post.

I also make sure to pop 4 or 5 tabs of warfarin and wash each one of them down with a shot of everclear.

Today was like the fourth time I've done it seriously in my life.

Did someone just admit to not brushing at least twice a day? That's disgusting and I hope you never get close to anyone when you talk to them.

If you brush every morning, but forget sometimes at night, how would that effect your breath any differently throughout the day?

Three times a day brusher and once a day flosser. I lived with a dentist for a couple of years and he'd tell me all of the horror stories he'd see (anonymously). It really changed my outlook on things.

I carry around mint flavored disposable flosser pick thingys in my truck.  I floss after I eat pretty much anything.

You better not throw these on the ground when you're done. Not accusing, but that is an obnoxious habit of many who carry those around.

[Rage Against the McKee]

Haven't been to the dentist in several years. Haven't flossed in several years. (Don't like it when flossing causes my gums to bleed).

Brush at least once a day, if not more.

No probs with my teeth for many, many years. Any reason I should change?

Well, your gums bleeding every time you floss seems like a pretty good reason for concern.

are toothpicks bad for you?

Some girl in my class last night told me about how she got proposed too because her then-boyfriend didn't grab a toothpick after dinner.

[Mr Bread]

Lot of crap-mouthers round these parts apparently. 

[CNS]

I am very trash considerate

[Johnny Wichita]

The bleeding should go away with regular flossing.  Also, some of you need to take it to the heart health thread.

Yes. It's really not that surprising, though.

[Brock Landers]

I use these after dinner every night.  And I throw them away!!

those are a big PITA

[Rage Against the McKee]

It's just a whole lot quicker and easier to just use the standard floss wrapped around my fingers. You get so much more control that way.
