How often do you floss

[Centurion1]

I usually floss every other day. Of course whenever i go to a party or have a date i floss right away. I thoroughly hate the process.

[Hooahguy]

once a day, at night.

[Strike For The South]

Look at these fancy guys, with there fancy dental floss.

hoity toity IMO

[Centurion1]

*puffs chest in pride* oh wait thats sarcasm...............

[Secura]

You don't get a perfect smile without a little effort. :3

lol well technically it is possible with modern dentistry.

Do you mean veneers (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Veneer_%28dentistry%29)?

I'd rather take care of the teeth I've got now rather than go through having those. :3

[Centurion1]

i meant more like bleaching and teeth whitening but yes that works as well.

[Subotan]

Never.

[tibilicus]

Only if I have some food stuck in my teeth, it isn't really necessary. As my dentist says, "If all the people who came through this door had teeth like yours, I wouldn't be in business." I kid you not, those kind of compliments make me excited about going to the dentist.

Also, what's up with all the oral hygiene centric threads in the frontroom recently?

[Centurion1]

Never.

ah well thats very british of you.

[GeneralHankerchief]

Once every six months, AKA the night before every trip to the dentist.

[pevergreen]

I did like 4 years ago. Not since then.

So, hmm-ah, how about uploading a photo of just your teeth for us to appreciate/critique? No shopping either. Really, that would be interesting.

*giggles* Y'know, one of the few times boys are enthusiastic about cleaning themselves is after they meet a girl *giggles more at the inevitable upcoming wave of hypocritical denial*

Hah. Same here.

I'm not saying they're nice teeth, my dentist is. Maybe he says it to everyone who comes through his doors, who knows. Maybe it's just one of the perks of having private dental care, they might just be nicer people. But sure, I can probably get you a picture for private viewing if that's what your into you twisted sicko.

:clown:
Don't get the hypocritical denial bit either, did I miss something?

[Fragony]

toothbrush does the trick

[pevergreen]

Nope, completely true imo.

[Hooahguy]

im pretty sure if you floss regularly you will have better teeth later on in life.

[A Very Super Market]

I'm supposed to floss. But I do it so poorly that blood gushes from my gums and terrifies me when I brush my teeth shortly after. Brush, spit, and scream at the frothing red mass that I've hocked into my sink.

[Hooahguy]

if you flossed your teeth more often then you wouldnt get blood.

[Aemilius Paulus]

if you flossed your teeth more often then you wouldnt get blood.
'Cause you already bled your gums white. I floss once a week and by the time I am done, I could gather up enough blood to constitute a princely donation to the Red Cross. Man, all those untapped resources wasted...

Yeah - 0_0

Wow... Y'know, instead of 4chan, they should make a new videoboard, where the only acceptable method of replying is by posting YouTube videos. That would hardly change much here, as a matter of fact. This would work even better in the Backroom. My eyes already get tired of reading the same party slogans all the time. I'd kill for someone to read that meaningless quackspeak to me, instead of burning my eyes out. I can live without the hearing, but not without the vision.

[A Very Super Market]

That's how it works? Makes sense. I try to get back into the habit every month or so, and that gives plenty of time for my gums to soften up, the wily bastards.

I'll make 'em hard, rugged things, I will.

[Azathoth]

I think you two might be doing something wrong.

yup. thats how the ball rolls.

[Aemilius Paulus]

yup. thats how the ball rolls.
*cough cough*

[Hooahguy]

oh please my grandfather is a dentist.
take my word for it, flossing really helps.

[Aemilius Paulus]

Oh, no, I posted that 'cough cough' thing in hopes it would confuse you into frantically searching for a double meaning of the phrase 'thats how the ball rolls'.

Yeah, I realise flossing helps. It is just that, as I said, I bleed as a stuck pig.

[Hooahguy]

Oh, no, I posted that 'cough cough' thing in hopes it would confuse you into frantically searching for a double meaning of the phrase [I]'thats how the ball rolls'.

oh dear lord.

[Azathoth]

What is the double meaning?

[Aemilius Paulus]

What is the double meaning?
Exactly; there is none. If Hooah were to have swallowed the bait, it would have been a thing to watch. But he saw right through my evil ploy, apparently.

[Viking]

Never. Food stuck between my teeth is a welcome challenge for my tongue. :laugh4:

[Hooahguy]

did i mention flossing helps prevent bad breath?

[Aemilius Paulus]

did i mention flossing helps prevent bad breath?
Yeah, the food particles stuck do tend to cause some of that. But the vast majority of it originates in the tongue, most likely, or from even deeper - or so I thought.

[A Very Super Market]

Indeed. All those evil bacteria resides at the back of your throat. It's why when you're sick, and all that rich phlegm appears below your uvula, your breath begins to fell others at a distance, and not otherwise.

Likewise, garlic breath originates from your stomach, while your digestive juices break down the vegetable. It could be compared to a silent belch, I suppose.

[Thermal]

Never. Food stuck between my teeth is a welcome challenge for my tongue. :laugh4:

I don't bother flossing either, muchly agreeing with the statement above.

[drone]

Rarely floss, except the week before the dentist appointment. I do have the disgusting, but useful, habit of picking at my teeth with something metal, which does a pretty good job of cleaning away remnants and preventing buildup.

[Centurion1]

flossing makes your breath so much better which (im not going to deny it ap, lol) i always floss before dayes, and yes the initial blood is a downer but going to get your teeth cleaned and having them painfully scprae away with no regard for you rcomfort is far worse. i hat dental hygenists.

[spmetla]

I floss every evening, have done this for the past three years. The only times I don't floss are when I am doing army field training (can not get my fingers clean enough) or when I am out of floss and it takes a day or so to remember to buy more.

[Megas Methuselah]

Remember that joke about the guy flossing with the girl's thong?

yes. :shame:

[Major Robert Dump]

I have been obsessive about brushing my teeth my entire life. My parents spent a lot of money to striaghten my teeth when I was youg (a lot as in they got fixed then went crooked again... 3 sets of braces, 4 surgeries and 2 retainers) so clean teeth were instilled in me.

Never a cavity.

But also never flossed and never had a teeth cleaning.

Went for a routine check up for my deployment. Doctor told me I had lovely teeth, but the backs of my teeth were the wost he had ever seen, and said it was because I didn't floss. The cleaning took over 90 minutes and was quite violent. I cried. Doc said I also had mild gum disease due to the built up crap on back of teeth making my gums recede.

I floss now.

[pevergreen]

MRD has scared me. I'm going to go buy floss.

[Major Robert Dump]

It's actually quite strange feeling now, I can actually feel my different individual teeth with my tounge in the back, whereas before it as just a smooth surface all the way down the gum line. Once all that plaque was removed, I can feel each individual tooth and what used to feel like a solid tooth is actually partially exposed roots (that were filled in with plaque) because the gums retreat from plaque.

And yes, the cleaning was so violent that the dental assistant had to hold my head down. Not because I was fighting, but because the dentist was having to scrape so hard to break the crap off. there was actually one tooth he didn't finish because he said it was so bad I would need a numbing to get it clean, and he felt he had truamatized me enough for that visit. I expect to get that tooth celaned at camp aderbury sometime next week.

Same thing with me i never flossed and then i came back and my gums were swollen and bleeding from that harpies administering of cleaning and i dont evne build plaque very fast. I can only imagine how bad it would be as a grown man.

[Megas Methuselah]

yes. :shame:

Dude, we're dirty-minded. :shame:
