I think the best kind of floss is just the regular mint waxed kind. I currently am trying this new "woven" kind, which is like two different colors and has some kind of anti-tartar coating on it. However, the coating makes it sticky and it tends to get stuck between my teeth a lot more and to break. I'm going back to the regular kind after this runs out.

This happens to me too. It gets pretty gross if I don't clean the mirror regularly.
― o. nate (onate), Monday, 21 November 2005 18:24 (nineteen years ago)
I floss but it's not because I like it. God no. I only do it because I realize it's better than letting bits of crisp rot between my teeth.
― Nathalie (stevie nixed), Monday, 21 November 2005 18:24 (nineteen years ago)
Well, I don't know how other people avoid this. When you pull up on the floss, there's a bit of resistance as it passes through the narrowest part of the gap, then it snaps straight again. Meanwhile, if there were any little particles of celery or gristle or whatnot in that gap, they have been flung upwards and outwards. If you happen to be standing in front of the bathroom mirror when this happens, the particles will most likely end up stuck to the glass.

Showerflosser is the way to go. A watercannon to blast that plaque right outta there.
― Jaq, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:11 (seventeen years ago)
Flossing is so satisfying & great; I do it pretty much after every meal. I live those little floss pick things; easy to get at my back teeth & a lot of flosses just break in my teeth bcz I never got my wisom teeth removed & they all grew very close together.
― Abbott, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:14 (seventeen years ago)

This thread is making me want to floss RIGHT NOW.
― Abbott, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago)
DO IT.
It was Liz Lemon that talked me into flossing everyday. I'm just glad they make a floss (Crest Glide) that I can get between my teeth without having it shred. The tape was torture (like papercuts) or too wide to get between my teeth.
― Bryan, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:22 (seventeen years ago)
oral b essential floss is also good for tightly-spaced teeth
showerfloss is HILARIOUS to me right now
― rrrobyn, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:31 (seventeen years ago)
I've been using the shower floss thing for about 2 years now, after the dental hygienista scared me with talk of gum pockets and tooth loss and the dreaded deep cleaning. Hate using the string floss but have to when I travel.
― Jaq, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:34 (seventeen years ago)
we used to use waterpik when i was in highschool but showerfloss thing looks ultra powerful and, hence, comedic, to me

― Surmounter, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
You can put yr eye out with that too.
― libcrypt, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:38 (seventeen years ago)
It's really high powered - you have to gradually work your way up to full strength blasting. Don't floss yr eyes.

the showerfloss? oh my god. i'm kind of scared.
― Surmounter, Thursday, 2 August 2007 20:39 (seventeen years ago)

i have gum disease (which most people don't even know they have) and it's led to a drastic loss of bone in my mouth so you're goddamn right i floss. if there's even a 1% chance that it will help i'll do it.
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:13 (eight years ago)
Anecdotally, flossing helps chill my gums out if I have food stuck in one of my larger gum pockets and inflaming them, which in turn is helping me avoid presumably unpleasant periodontal work.

I hate it when you get a piece of dental floss stuck between your teeth, and you need to unspool more dental floss to floss it out.
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:42 (eight years ago)
Is that a joke?
― illegal economic migration (Tracer Hand), Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:44 (eight years ago)
No! Sometimes my floss frays and snaps off between two of my tighter teeth and a piece just gets wedged in there, and I have to floss it out!
― Josh in Chicago, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 17:46 (eight years ago)
are you sure you're using...dental floss?

the resultant floss smeared between two intact loops of floss
― remy bean, Tuesday, 2 August 2016 21:49 (eight years ago)
It's totally dental floss, of that I am sure. It's Glide brand (we bought it in bulk at Costco so are stuck with it), and every once in a while when dispensing it a stretch gets kind of scraped the wrong way by the little metal tooth, weakening it in that spot. So sometimes when I'm working my way down the floss at a certain point that weakened spot gets stuck between two of my molars and snaps, leaving a chunk of floss in there. But it's not long enough to grab with my fingers and pull out, it's like a tiny little hunk of floss that then has to be flossed out.
Obviously this doesn't happen that often, but it's happened enough!
