    I've been flossing since the dawn of time.

    Twice a day (after breakfast and before going to bed at night), and I use floss in case I get something between my teeth from a daytime snack that I think will either look bad, or it feels bad. I'm sorry it took so long for me to realize the importance of flossing, and I took personal interest in getting my kids in that habit when they were so young and I was teaching how to brush their teeth. A dentist once told me that if he was trapped on a desert island, and had the choice between dental floss or a tooth brush and tooth paste, he'd easily choose the floss since it was so much more important to your teeths' health. The same dentist told me that he once had a patient who asked him whether he had to floss between all his teeth. The dentist answered, "No, only the ones you want to keep." Those were the final two stories, along with all the other dental work, that convinced me to do it at bedtime, and then the breakfast thing was something I started within the last year. God Bless you.

    I floss each time after I brush my teeth (in addition to using a water-jet irrigator.) It makes a huge difference for dental checkups. So, if I eat four times a day, then I brush, floss and water-jet four times a day, and the dentist always says, "excellent work."

    I try to floss every time I brush my teeth, but sometimes I'm just too lazy to do it.

    I floss after every meal. I can't stand having food particles in between my teeth. I like my teeth clean and healthy. :)
