Do you floss?

[Baler]

My gums bleed like crazy. It's like I opened an artery in my mouth.
Floss and have blood stained teeth vs don't floss and have white teeth.

I realize that I missed an opportunity.

If your gums bleed when you floss, you've already got gum disease and if you let it persist, you can look forward to dental implants or full dentures sometime in your future.

I call bullshit. You have no knowledge of the genetics of my family. I say I brush my teeth but don't floss and you come at me with "gum disease" gtfo.

There is a hole in your theory about my gums,..
I said they bleed when I floss not when I brush. Clearly my flossing skill isn't very good and I end up cutting my gums.

Clearly you only read what you wanted to read and stopped at the word "brushing" and didn't continue on to the rest of the phrase where it included "flossing or eating hard food". Bleeding from any one of those three activities is indicative of gum disease. If you bleed when you floss, you have Gingivitis, the first stage of something worse.

You can ignore facts all you want, but it won't make the truth go away. Don't say you weren't warned when you're being fitted for your very expensive new teeth in your 50's and 60's.

the only people who don't understand how beneficial flossing is to dental hygiene are the morans who have never done it consistently enough to see the difference

People tell me they don't floss because it makes their gums bleed, and a small part of my soul dies [You must be logged in to view images. Log in or Register.]
