A poll for non-flossers!

Have you ever had to have serious dental work done (requiring anaesthetic, etc) for something that could have been prevented by flossing? Such as, issues specifically starting between your teeth?

Some flossing progress

A close up of a black corset with flossing on top of four boning channels, which are done in three shades of blue and are criss crossing lines. On the middle of the boning channels there's also flossing, done in one shafe of blue, green and purple on the channels to the left, and on the right it has a darker shade of blue and pastel pink instead of purple.

Regular dental flossing may lower risk of stroke from blood clots, irregular heartbeats
American Stroke Association International Stroke Conference 2025 - Abstract 19

People who regularly floss their teeth (one or more times per week) may lower their risk of stroke caused by a blood clot traveling from the heart and a stroke associated with an irregular heartbeat such as atrial fibrillation (AFib).
The benefits of regular flossing may be independent of tooth brushing and other oral hygiene behaviors.
Researchers suggest that flossing is a healthy habit that is affordable, easy to adopt and accessible everywhere.

I’m still thinking about an article I read about dental flossing. Apparently, all you need to do in order to know that flossing is an essential piece of dental hygiene is to smell a piece of used floss.
….
….
Yeah. Obviously I haven’t done this, but that little nugget of information has really stayed with me.

(I use a water flosser. Removes any olfactory temptation entirely)

About a week ago I passed two years of #flossing every day, no skips or cheats. Still have to spend too much time at the dentist.

I lack the two-handed #Dexterity for traditional #Flossing. I've used #Floss #Picks for years, but I've learned they only reach between teeth; they can't wrap around teeth or sweep the gumline.

I bought a #Sulcabrush and #EndTuft #Toothbrush to try as #Flossing #Alternatives. On Day One after using them, brushing my teeth was noticeably smoother. I didn't realize tiny particles and bacteria along the gumline had caused such drag.

You’d think as a seasoned adult I’d know what the appropriate amount of floss is by now. :breathe:

How much of a pass from flossing do you give yourself after a dental cleaning. #Flossing #Poll

These dental floss picks are prolific. They are everywhere. If I didn’t know better, I’d swear they breed. I can go hiking in remote pristine wilderness and still find them lying on the ground. Do people walk around in public flossing their teeth with these pieces of plastic then flick them away like lint when they’re done?
