Seriously folks. If you brush twice a day and floss once it goes miles in dental health. When you first start flossing it's going to be a pain in the ass. A month later you will do it without thinking about it.
If flossing is a pain in the ass you're doing it wrong. (Hint: floss your TEETH!)
And after a few months you can't go to bed without flossing, it just feels weird
I've been doing it most days for months. It is not automatic. That's probably the ADHD though, haha
I feel bad because the only way I can keep the flossing habit up is to use those disposable plastic flossers. I need to find a reusable one -- where it's just a handle that i can replace/rethread the floss, instead of contributing to plastic pollution...
Seriously, consider switching to a water flosser. They're very thorough cleaners of both the bits between your teeth and the bacteria in the gum line. It has vastly improved my oral health and once a day is plenty. Initial price is higher as you would expect, but it's rare to replace any parts at all. The model I use is a basic Waterpik that I've had for about 8 years was $40 US when I got it. Think it now costs $60 (inflation sucks).
I found on Amazon one I really like. It is the G.U.M. reusable flosser, it is super cheap but feels durable.
