Title: Does anyone like to floss?
Post by: kat112073 on June 30, 2013, 07:30:25 am
I like to brush my teeth and rinse my mouth, but I was never a fan of flossing. I am afraid I would pull a tooth out. Anyone feels the same way like me.

I sometimes worry about pulling on dental work, but I try to floss regularly anyway.  It's not something that I enjoy, though.

Flossing at least once a day has been instilled in me since I was little. I don't think one way or another as this is second nature to me. I have also ingrained this practice to my child as well.

Well I guess if you don't floss, later in life you won't have too, especially with false teeth. Just put them in the cup, ha ha

I hate flossing because it is gross to see what gets caught in between them

I don’t like to, but I have to. After eating during the day, flossing is helpful for me when I don’t have a toothbrush handy. I don’t have this feeling my teeth will fall apart from flossing.

I don't like flossing either but I do it when I can. I know it feels like your teeth will be pulled out but if floss reguraly, you teeth will be strenghten even more to tolerate that pulling in your mouth. Flossing helps to get that gunk in between your teeth. Just imagine food rotting bw your teeth. Gross! I you haven't flossed be for expect some bleeding from you gums cuz your gums haven't been toughn up yet. If I neglect to floss for a long time, when I start again my gums bleed too. If your still worried check on line on this issue or go see your dentist for more advice. Don't be afraid flossing is your teeth's friend! :thumbsup: :wave:

I don't like flossing my teeth. But I will once in awhile...should do it more often. I don't like it when my gums start to bleed. I guess that means that I should do it everyday so it doesn't bleed :)

I really dont like to floss  but do at least 5 times  a week.

I wouldn't say I like it, but when I see what ends up on the floss, I know that brushing and rinsing my teeth alone isn't doing the job.  It really is important not only for the sake of keeping your natural teeth, but for your overall health too.

I do not mind it but it does get *bleep* sometimes. I just try not to eat to many foods that get food stuck in my teeth.

I don't like to, but you have to floss daily for good dental care.

I dont particularly like flossing. Right after the dentist ill get disciplined about it and do it all the time, but then it slowly decreases lol. Then a month or so before my next appointment all start doing it all the time. Because its hell to go to the dentist when you havent flossed in awhile  :P

I don't mind flossing.  It's just that I don't floss as often as I should.  My dentist tells me that I must floss more.

Dental picks is a good way to floss.   I like it better than the dental flossing string.

I hate it with a passion but my wallet thanks me when I go to the dentist and leave with no cavities.

I don't know how I ever went without flossing. I always floss before brushing and using mouthwash. One time I wanted to know how much brushing and rinsing cleans the teeth so I flossed last. You would be surprised how brushing and rinsing leaves behind. It's just doesn't get between the teeth.

I did not use to like flossing and still don't but I do it everyday now since it is important to do so and I was told by the dentist too floss more. Now that I do it I am getting the hang of it and it is not so bad. I did not like to floss because I had to use the floss strings but now that I use the floss picks it is so much easier and better.

I floss quite regularly throughout the day especially when I can't brush.

I try my best to floss at least once a day. I have had loads of issues with my gums since i was pregnant. I was told to help prevent gum disease, gingivitis, and cavities you need to floss. MY gums bled a lot at first and it has actually gotten a lot better since I have tried to make it part of my daily routine.

I wouldn't say "I like to floss", but I do it anyway.

I like having clean teeth and flossing helps keep the tartar buildup down.

I am a die-hard flosser. It's not my favorite thing, but I want my teeth to be healthy. I used to have problems with floss getting stuck in my teeth because my teeth are SO close together. My dentist gave me a sample of Glide and it is great. It never sticks in my teeth. EVER!  :o

To maintain good healthy teeth, you have to floss every day.   :thumbsup:

I like to floss every once awhile... I mostly use it when I can't get the leftover from the toothpick or chewing gum

I absolutely HATE flossing, but I make myself do it anyway. Cuz I cant have $4,000 wasted down the drain to get them nice and straight. But I never have much come out when I floss and my teeth always feel sore when I do. But so far great check ups at the dentist.

I always forget to buy floss when I am at the store, so I'm always borrowing some from my sister, lol...but yeah, flossing is essential in my opinion. You're clearing out all that nasty build up in between your teeth. My mouth always tastes better when I floss...Try the thin thread with the wax and see if you like it.  ;D
