Don't ask why I'm curious about this, but it just popped in my head.
How many of you floss your teeth?
Seems like a lot of the people I know don't take the greatest care of their teeth (maybe it's cause I'm from Texas - yeehaw ) and I'm wondering if it's kinda like that everywhere.
I brush my teeth twice a day, once in the morning and once at night. I always mouthwash with antiseptic so my gums stay healthy. But I didn't start to floss regularly until recently. I used to floss all the time, but it's just such a pain in the ass that I tend to skip it. I also haven't been to the dentist in a while, but as of yet I've never had a cavity.
So what are the teefs around the world like?
I know... I'm so weird. Forgive me, hehehe. |

LOL, well we do have some tooth problems here in Arlingon (Texas by the way) it's got to be all the chewing tobacco.
As for your question, yeah I do floss at night. Most of the time, dentist said I should.
I brush my teeth twice a day, morning and night.  |

what I did to them as a kid
was it something involving poprocks? and pepsi? I almost made a can of pepsi explode once after putting poprocks in it and covering the top, it would have been really bad with the aluminium shrapnel and all. |

I'm English. (Nuff said.)
Therefore, I'm staying out of this thread.  |

I floss every day. I do not understand why others would let dead, rotting food stay in the high temperature of their mouth and fester. . .. It's disgusting, and it's one of the major causes of bad breath. |

Well, I'm not proud of it, but my teeth need work. My tooth enamal has turned all gray and I learned the hard way about what happens when you don't brush your toungue. I guess a steady diet of brains really isn't what the doctor ordered.
Anyway, let that be a lesson to you kiddies, Always brush your teeth at least twice a day. |

I don't floss like ever, but I do try to brush my teeth twice a day. But I take pretty good care of them(my dad's a dentist). My dad has always tried to keep me and my siblings off pop and candy(which I am getting better at). Though, candy would be more for health reasons. |
