VERY IMPORTANT FLOSSING POLL

How often do you floss?

Karbird5 · October 2013

Damn. No wonder I have gingivitis. 66% of y'all? I thought it was just for after popcorn. You can't be buying into the hygienist propaganda.

quidditchcapn1120 · October 2013

Based on my personal experience, about 47% of y'all are lying. Either that, or Parenting really has the cream of the crop in terms of oral health care...

After my last dentist appointment when I found out how completely fucked my teeth are and the extensive (and damn fucking expensive) dental work I need done, yeah I'm buying it.

I try to do it once a day. Some days, it gets forgotten, but my parents have a lot of dental problems, so I try really hard to remember. I have floss in my purse in case I need it.

ReeseFox · October 2013

Why would people lie on an anonymous poll? Is it so implausible that 18 people, out of however many could have come across this thread, floss regularly?

ReeseFox · October 2013

I can see that, but based on the lack of responses in the thread, I would guess it's mostly lurkers that voted.

I just went to the dentist 2 weeks ago, for the first time in 4 years even though I've had dental insurance since March '12. $:\$ ">

ReeseFox · October 2013

Oh, I was so embarrassed! My teeth are really bad. And I'd thought I was doing a good job taking care of the, but lack of regular flossing really did me in. It's an expensive lesson.

I need more variety on the poll answers. I floss probably 3-4 times a week. I try for more but I do it right before bed and some nights those extra couple of minutes would kill me apparently.

theimpossibleastronaut · October 2013

Just flossed. Thanks for the reminder!

katlizabeth · October 2013

I think this poll is missing some options-there's a lot between every day and before the dentist. I floss probably 4 times a week...way more an just 2 times a year before the dentist, but not every day.

Nita2603 · October 2013

I am in the needing more options camp. I try for once a day, but it usually ends up being more like 3 or 4 times a week.

LaCally4 · October 2013

I do it once a day at night. I can definitely feel a difference if I go too long without flossing because I have sensitive gums.

LaylaPartDeux · October 2013

I find I floss quite regularly in the two weeks before my dentist appointment & the two weeks following my appointment, but it's kind of like a New Years resolution type thing for me...it never really lasts...

I do it mostly every day but sometimes I miss. So maybe 4 days a week. I used to be really bad at flossing but I've been on a popcorn kick for the last few months and it got me in the habit.

shadypines · October 2013

Occasionally....

I actual have floss in my purse.

LaurelBee · October 2013

I actually have flossed every day for the past week or so, but that isn't the norm so I didn't vote. I usually floss 3-4 times a week or every other day.

msdrdg · October 2013

Rarely. Generally if I have something stuck in my tooth or right before going to the dentist, which I haven't done in like 5 years.

This is me. I don't do it daily, but I do floss at least a few days a week. DD flosses every day, though.

THATS WHAT SS IS FOR.

I mean RIO. Fuck

tlxh7 · October 2013

I usually floss 2-4 times a week, just depending. Sometimes I end for forgetting...for a few weeks.

EMOmamma · October 2013

I picked once per day but sometimes it's twice. I eat oatmeal at work for breakfast almost every day and I have to floss after that. Then sometimes at night usually depending on dinner. I didn't used to floss often then my wisdom teeth came in and crowded everything a bit and now I get a lot of food stuck.

missymo · October 2013

I'm terrible about flossing. I am so, so lucky to have good teeth because I don't take care of them all that well. I do brush twice a day.

In my 20s I went three years without going to the dentist AND probably didn't floss more than 5 times during that period. I was petrified when I finally went for a cleaning and shocked when I didn't even have a single cavity. So lucky.

mollinator9 · October 2013

I make fun of dh for flossing twice a day. And he's picky about his floss.
