The issue is, if you start flossing here and there, then they start recommending every night. If you do that, they recommend after every meal.
Feels like a negative sum game.
A negative gum game, if you will
They must have eventually wrote something in my file. A few years ago the nagging stopped and the dentist just says “I’ll take what I can get” after asking how often I floss.
Just do a quick tour with a toothpick before brushing at night. Costs almost no time nor effort, yet is a massive improvement.
My dentist sez flossing is on it's way out, everybody should start using these really small interdental toothbrushes anyway.
I can't even get floss between some of my teeth without shredding it how am I supposed to get a toothbrush in there. If floss or a waterpik, which I really should buy, can't do it, I'm out of luck.
I floss when I get shit between my teeth. I eat popcorn most nights so I floss most nights. It works out.
Biggest fan of flossing
I've fallen in and out of the habit of regular flossing, but I have learned that if you start doing it everyday about 2 weeks before your dentist appointment, they can't tell the difference.
Who's the guy on the left supposed to be?
Asking for a ... uhh... friend.
The dentist?
(Tone doesn't carry, so I'm asking like, do you mean the guy on the left/dentist, not "the dentist!?, if that makes any sense.)
