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.

the people at the dentist react as if you just killed a baby and then did a victory dance. It’s very uncomfortable ;)

I hate that!

They've got you strapped down into that chair naked with that thing in your mouth that forces you to smile while they all stare at you and chant "Shame. Shame. Shame.."

I really don't know why I keep going back.
