During my last dental cleaning the hygienist asked “you said you floss every day?” and I said yes, because I do, and she said most people lie on that one but she could tell I actually did because it made her job a LOT easier. Less/no blood and less plaque to scrape off. If you start flossing every day you’ll start feeling nasty if you don’t do it so it’s easier to remember and follow through.
Flossing once every day before bed has given me easy perfect dentist checkups for years now. I used to not floss, but then I got an ebook reader and I just set it up while flossing. Instead of feeling like I’m just doing a boring task, I get to read my book for a little while.
If you don’t floss daily, you’ll get gingivitis. Then, your dentist will use a really tiny power washer between your teeth and gums that sort of has a “nails on a chalkboard” feel to it.
My go to is “not as often as I should” because it seems that no amount of flossing would please the bone vampires anyway

Thanks. I’m flossing tonight.
