FLOSSING

Post Reply New Topic

anyone else hate flossing?

for me it's the fact that i'm no good with my hands (clumsy) and it takes forever.

just wondering if anyone else has issues with it.

thanks.

I hate it too. I use a paroxa brush between each tooth because I am awful at flossing and it keeps my gums nice and healthy.

I've always had terrible teeth. But they're better since I took up chewing gum all the time - it seems the problem was that I have a dry mouth. Chewing gum improved things tremendously. I put gum on the list of things that I had to give up so I could pretend to be normal. Now I'm retired, I'm gathering all the good stuff back.

I loathe and despise flossing! I googled Proxabrush and it seems to be the same as my Go-Betweens, which is a gift from the gods. You know how they say to exercise during a TV show? Well, I take care of my teeth during TV shows.

Do you know anything about electric flossers? I can't get my dentist to discuss it - he says, "You don't need that, just use floss." He doesn't get it that means using nothing.

My electric toothbrush died last month. <sob!> I don't know where I'll get the money (and the transportation, I have agoraphobia) to buy another.

Toothily,

Not at all. I floss at least once per day, and it has never bothered me.

I am quite lucky in that I have horrible teeth. Every one except the very back are crooked. Because of this, I never have to floss unless there's something stuck. Also, I haven't had any cavities in over 15 years. Bad teeth have their advantages.

Oh god I used to hate it so much... but then they invented those little sticks with a bit of floss strung across them, and now I actually floss a lot.

I hate the whole dental care routine. It's boring. Same with showering. I need to buy a shower radio or something to make it more tolerable.

Flossing is made easier, though, with these:



Flossing with regular floss is a pain in the ass, not to mention it gets the minty paste it's dipped in all over your hands.
