How to floss by Zaerwen

"I just started flossing."

How I did it: I opened the cabinet and saw the floss, and I thought "why not?"

I remember when I was younger it just seemed to take a long time, but it isn't that bad. My gums bled the first day, but after that it got better. I think the floss I have now is different, it's the waxed kind. I don't like it much, but I still use it. It's not that bad to floss, I mean, if you think about it, they're gonna stay with you till you die (hopefully), so why not spend a couple extra minutes on them now?

Lessons & tips: Just start, I guess.

Resources: uh.. Dental floss.

How I did it: I started off with floss, but moved on to using a toothpick which was a lot easier. I then brushed my teeth thouroughly. There was a little blood, but definitely worth it! Read how I did it…

How I did it: It helped me a lot to have my landlord be my dentist. She harassed me often about the cleanliness of my teeth. But even if this is not possible for you, it can still be done. Once I got my teeth cleaned, I really wanted them to stay that way. I bought the little floss pick things and that really makes it much easier. Read how I did it…

    Zaerwen is trying.

    i've started 9 months ago

    i think this is one of those ongoing goals that can be hard to “complete”. sure there was one day this week i skipped flossing, but i think over-all this goal is complete. it’s just one of those things that has to become routine.

    WHY 12 months ago

    IS IT SO HAAAAARD??? Hehe..the only time I floss is when something gets stuck in the too-large gap my dentist left between my crown and my back tooth. Then I get desperate. Here’s to trying…

    Flossing 15 months ago

    is definitely something I want to do on a more regular basis. I floss maybe twice a week…at the very most on average at least. I do use mouth wash, and brush very well. But I got my first cavity about four years ago, and I promised myself that I wouldn’t get anymore because it costs too much, it’s a little painful, it tastes disgusting, and if I can avoid it I should. I want to start doing what’s best for my body!

    I have one deep, dark memory of flossing when i was about fourteen. There was blood. There certainly wasn’t any pearly white dentistry going on.

    However, i should not judge on this one experience. The next time i go shopping, i’m buying some dental floss!
