Does anyone like to floss?
« 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.
