How often do you floss?

For those of you who don’t floss ever or rarely, how old are you and when was your last examination? Not all decay hurts and just because you don’t have tooth pain doesn’t mean you don’t have cavities or plaque buildup.

If you’re in your twenties and even early thirties, this isn’t much of a surprise, but as you get older the checks you’ve been cashing in your younger years come due.

I do know that some people are just gifted with resilient teeth that never need care beyond normal brushing. To those people, you won the dental lottery and you should feel blessed.

33, and my last examination probably when I was 18. I've had minor issues for some years now, but watching a bit what I eat and brushing my teeth carefully enough remedies the situation. I should probably get my teeth examined, but my hunch is that the lack of flossing isn't really the issue anyway. Or maybe it is, but I'm sure we'll see one day.
