My dentist tells me I should be doing it 2-3 times a day. Here in the real world, I'd say I manage it about 2-3 times a week....if that

Floss? Teeth? What are those? You're obviously making up words to scare your fellow GameSpotters.

Never flossed, but I brush and use mouthwash regularly - I'm very anal about oral health.

I never floss. it was one of those hygiene habits that I never formed. It always bothered me too much when I tried to do it, and I hate it when the dentist does it during my check ups.

As often as possible. If I go more than one day without it I start to go crazy, like I begin to imagine all this pressure between my teeth and the only way to alleviate it is flossing :|

Oh well, at least it's good for me.

I have braces and I still don't floss, my teeth aren't shiny white but they aren't bad or anything. Teeth aren't naturally white anyway, so I'm not to worried about it. :P

How can you be anal about oral care but not floss? Mouthwash is no replacement for floss.

I try to avoid it at all costs! I know it's good for you, but I hate flossing! I just can't do it. I have a fear of dental floss. :lol: There is a story behind it, though.... I've told it on this site a couple of times.

Once a day at night. Well to be honest, its probably more like 6/7 times a week. I'm not very good about flossing.

Haha, sure. I was about 7 or 8 and I only had a couple of baby teeth left, but none of them were loose. I hadn't lost one in a while. One day I decided to floss my teeth. I wasn't really paying attention to what I was doing and eventually the floss got wrapped around a baby tooth that wasn't loose. I tried to get it untangled on my own, but I wasn't able to. I went to ask my mom for help. She started to try to untangle it, but out of nowhere she just pulled on the floss and my tooth was ripped loose. I bled all over the place and it hurt a lot! :P

Every day. I usually do it at night but often do it after lunch too if I feel like I need it.

Never, but as soon as I get these braces off (The extra effort to floss when having braces absolutely kills me) I'll make a bigger effort to floss more often.
