How to floss Every Day
It made me
smile
 "It might make my before-bed routine take a little longer, but I will have fresher breath and a healthier mouth in the long run!"
How I did it: Every night since I had my teeth cleaned I made myself floss. Some nights I was tired and thought "it will be ok if I skip one night.." - but I didn't let myself. Ultimately I flossed every night because I had done so every night since my dental cleaning and I didn't want to break the streak! Lessons & tips: It only takes a minute or two. It might motivate you to floss more if you try it and then smell the used floss - if you haven't flossed in a while, it stinks! Just think what that is doing to the surfaces between your teeth. I don't know about you, but I want my own teeth for as long as I live! Resources: I have a permanent wire retainer on my lower incisors (on the lingual surface of the teeth of course) that requires a floss threader to be able to floss in between them. Also, I like to use floss that tastes good. Right now I'm using Reach Clean Burst Berry Mint floss and I have some Reach Wild String Cherry Berry floss too - next I would like to try Reach Clean Paste Floss, Radius Cranberry Floss or Oral-B Ultra Floss. |

healthy!
How I did it: By making flossing a part of my nightly routine, I was able to make sure that it happened every night. I wouldn't let myself skip a single night, and if I had forgotten and was already in bed, I would force myself to get up and floss. Now, I went from not even knowing how to use floss, to being able to do it in less than thirty seconds! :D Read how I did it…

Smile of course
How I did it: I've struggled to floss consistently for years. My dental hygienist would just laugh at me for coming back time after time and saying I flossed 2-5 times a week. I would just skip it if I was tired or traveling or just feeling lazy. So this time, I put my floss closer to the sink than my toothbrush. I tracked every day whether or not I flossed, keeping it on my mind. It took me four months of trying before I flossed every day for a month. Read how I did it…

How I did it: I just kept repeating "you only floss the ones you want to keep". pretty soon Iw as in a routine where every single night I flossed. If I missed it for some reason (being in a youth hostel far from the bathroom, etc) then I did it in the morning. My teeth feel better and there's even some peace of mind attached! Read how I did it…

How I did it: Kept at it with conscious intention regularly enough for it to become part of my nightly routine. I used the technique that my dentist showed me before I started to ensure that I would do it correctly. Read how I did it…

Different types of goals

I’m going to floss for a month starting today (June 26) and ending on July 26. Then I’ll consider this goal finished and be able to use the space to put a new goal.

Floss
1 week ago
As I considering my “brush my teeth twice a day” goal done in about 2 weeks, I need to erase this one as well.
So I’m working on it!
I started flossing my teeth every day during university I think. I realized these are the only teeth I’ll have for the rest of my life (and I plan to live for quite a while!)
My gums bled each time for a couple weeks perhaps, but they never bleed now. I can floss without looking in a mirror; I know the exact feeling of each spot.
HOWEVER, though I floss every day, my dentist says there’s still some tartar accumulation so it’s not a magic never-see-dentist-again lifestyle, but it sure helps!

Flossed this morning after not doing it for a couple days. I had some cavities filled and my mouth was sensitive, so I chose to not floss.
The counting begins again!

smelsmin asks,
“I have tried both floss and picks, but my mouth doesn't open ar enough/I can't get my lips down enough that I can reach any of my molars with the tape, let alone get the tape around them and be able to see what I am doing. Can anyone help?”
