Once you meet someone who has lost all their teeth, you won't be hesitant to floss.


Two things that make flossing easier:
• Use dental tape floss rather than standard floss. It's easier on the gums of people who aren't very experienced in flossing.
• Brush your teeth after flossing. That will massage away any harshness that you experienced from flossing. It also gets toothpaste between your teeth, in spots that had previously been obscured by food particles.

Question-be there any way to avoid flossing without consequences? I'm not big on flossing, actually have flossed maybe a total of 3 times in 22 years, lol. I know this has got to be GREAT for my teeth. Any way I might be able to avoid the flossing without screwing up my teeth?


Waterpik, maybe?
