How many people actually floss on a regular basis? I have decided im going to try to start, i hate getting cavities filled and the dentist rips on me so hard when she sees i dont floss.

I just got my first cavity a couple months ago. I've been flossing every day since then.

I've never had a cavity in my life (claim). I usually only brush once a day in the morning. I floss maybe once every 100 days when the mood is right. Recently I've been flossing more because my wisdom teeth are coming in, and I dont like having food stuck between my molars for days.

Our advancements in dental hygene may be a leading factor in our improved life-expectancy and quality of life, but I will always be an anti-dentite.... I hate dentists, I hate going to the dentist, I hate the nasty paste the put on your teeth to polish them, I hate having to keep my mouth open for an extended period of time as some med-school drop-out scrapes my teeth.... i hate it all.

how old are you? I can almost guarantee you'll have a cavity with that brushing routine...also your teeth will yellow so much faster when you get older.

22 boss.

I've had the same dental hygene habits for as long as i can remember.

i don't smoke or drink coffee habitually, so my teeth aren't too yellow.

Floss once a day, before bed.

Never had a cavity, but had enough issues with impacted teeth, tons of surgeries, that I want to keep my choppers as happy as possible.

I should get my teeth cleaned twice a year, but for now, I'm doing it just once a year.

im lucky enough to only have 2 cavity's. because i was born without enamel on my teeth.  its the stuff that protects your teeth from shit, the hard outer layer if you will.

I think a lot of people aren't taking in to consideration that genetics takes part in whether or not you get a lot of cavities.

I have a friend who's dad always had teeth problems. Always getting cavities as such. My friend has the same problem so he brings a toothbrush wherever he is and brushes his teeth multiple times a day. Even after this he gets cavities. Some people can brush lightly once a day and never have any tooth issues. It all just depends.
