How come most people don't floss daily, and some never floss?

I have seen polls, and I don't get it? It isn't very time consuming, and just flossing once a day makes a HUGE difference in your dental health. Not to mention I want that crap out of my teeth.

Some like Bush and some like Brazilian. The bush guys get their flossing in at that time... ;-)

I agree with you. I want to keep ky teeth as I get older so I try to floss about 5 times a week.

Because usually when I floss there isn't anything to floss. So I give up trying

Have you tried Water flossing? It's superior and even studies show this. They claim 29% more effective, but I feel like it's much more. You can also do it multiple times a day with barely any effort too.

@Truthatanycost I've never heard of that before. I'll have to look into what that is!

[Truthatanycost]

I put a capful of 3% hydrogen peroxide and a few drops of Lugols iodine into warm / hot water for mine. Waterpik brand seems to be the best (I tested out a few others). Dentists continue claiming manual flossing is better or that water flossing is not a substitute but the studies all disagree!

I wonder if they have shares in manual floss...

That looks like a slightly older model in the video:

@Truthatanycost interesting! is it harmful if you swallow it?

[Truthatanycost]

It's best not to swallow it but it won't harm you if you do. Both of those are found in the body as well as used for natural therapies. But hydrogen peroxide is used on an empty stomach (avoids interaction with foods) and iodine is used with a protocol that involves other co-factors (selenium required to protect thyroid).

Using ozonated olive oil to brush is also something no Dentists will ever tell you about:
