YSK: Flossing your teeth is only uncomfortable when your gums are unhealthy

bkmps3@aussie.zone to You Should Know@lemmy.world – 907 points –

Healthy gums don’t bleed, and are not painful to floss at all.

I’m in my 30s and only recently learned flossing technique and got my gums healthy. Flossing used to take so long and always involved a lot of bleeding no matter how delicate I was.

These days I’m absolute savage with floss and interdental brushes and never have any blood or pain.

Once you get your gums healthy you’ll be disgusted at yourself for ever not flossing. The amount of disgusting I can floss out on an almost daily basis is insane.

Plus you’re breath will not smell gross anymore.

It’s worth committing to the habit of flossing. Trust me.

How did the dentist appointment go, Gigan?

Its next Tuesday, I'll let you know

I know I am way too invested in this, but at this point I really want to know the results. How'd it go?

Inconclusive. Dentist said everything looked fine, but they didn't measure my gums with the tiny ruler like they did last time.
