Truthfully, how many of you floss your teeth at least once a day?

If I remember to brush my teeth I'm good, don't ask me to start flossing. (Although I probably should.)
-
To floss or not to floss that is question.. Once a week.......
-
I do it more than once a week. I certainly do not do it everyday.
-
i try to do once a day, i'd say i maybe miss 5 days a month or so.

A sign at my dentist's office said "If you'll believe me about the one that got away, I'll believe that you floss 'almost every day.'" That really motivated me for some reason and I can say that I don't even miss one day a month--I don't feel clean until I've flossed, because I know that dental bacteria will build little castles around them if you don't break them up once a day. One result is the dentist refuses to clean my teeth. "It would be a waste of my time and your money," he says.

I do it when I remember. For some reason I don't keep the floss next to the toothpast. I guess if I did put them together I would remember more. I probably average 2-3 times per month which is about how often I get anything out of the drawer the floss is in.

I've never been able to floss once a day, and those tv commercials make me feel so vile and wretched because of it! Damn them! Damn me and my lackadaisical dental hygiene! Actually, I only seem to remember to do it when I have something stuck in there after eating. I use the new Oral-B Vitality electric toothbrush and it has "flossing action", so while it's probably a wrongly held belief and justification, and maybe a misnomer, I consider myself covered.

Truthfully? never and my teeth and gums are fine! Gotta b

I have to admit, I only floss when the toothbrush fails to remove what is stuck between my teeth. About twice a week.

You know...I NEVEr used to floss, until I went to my dentist last month for a deep cleaning session that led me to spit out blood EVERYTIME he dug tarter out of my gums...yeah, after taht? I try to floss multiple times a day. The best way is the hold your floss closely and go into the jacket of your tooth on both sides and up and down 5 times on each side....yeah.... I hope I don't spit out blood again next time...

I've flossed about 3 times in my whole life. I'm going to try and start doing it regularly though.

i aim for every night. but some nights i skip. i've been much more active about it lately... blame it on the new year.
-
Truthfully, no, I keep floss in my car and when I get stuck in horrific traffic or at one of those lights where you know you have 2 minutes to spare because you've timed it... I floss my teeth.
-
I gave up on that when I started wearing false teeth.
