Question of the Day - Monday, April 15th, 2024

Today's question is from @Sally PB:

Do you floss your teeth?

Yes.

 

[Evadig]

Unfortunately, no...I forget!

 

[HorseGirlAbby]

Yes I do, and I've never had a cavity

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

Nope. I’ve started forgetting to brush my teeth, occasionally, though.

 

[Sally PB]

Yes. My hygienist said it's "good enough" to do it 3-4x a week. She told me, "I do it on days with a T in them. Tuesday, Thursday, and Saturday."

So that's what I do too. I sometimes do on other days, like now, when I'm going to the dentist in a week!

 

[fowltemptress]

Yes, but it's mostly because back when they put in rubber band spacers in preparation for installing braces, one of the bands migrated into my gum line. Much swelling and lots of blood was involved - no need to get into it in too much detail. Anyway, it caused a larger gap between my back two teeth than what was intended, which means about half of every meal winds up there instead of in my stomach. Since I'm having to clear out the gap after every meal, anyway, I might as well do the rest of my teeth while I'm at it. Sometimes I suspect my dentist teamed up with my orthodontist and planned out this whole thing just to get me to floss more regularly. Well, it worked, so kudos, I guess.

 

[BantyChooks]

Give me a few minutes and I'll get back to you with an answer.

I jest. I'm not always consistent, but I do value having my teeth and gums in working order so it ends up on my list more often than not.

 

[azurbanclucker]

Not as often as I should.

 

[JacinLarkwell]

When I remember to

 

[notabitail]

No. Probably should. But it's somewhere near the bottom of "things I'm thinking about when i want to leave the bathroom fast".
