I had stents put in my heart 11 years ago. My doctor told me that if I didn’t start flossing I was going to die sooner than I would if I flossed because chronic inflammation of the gums can exacerbate inflammation of the heart. I started flossing every day and have kept it up ever since.
Several years later I went to the dentist for a cleaning and examination. The hygienist asked me to open my mouth so she could take a look. She got in there with her little mirror and one of her little sharp torture devices and poked around. She said, “Hmmm…you have very good oral hygiene.” That was the happiest I had ever been at the dentist.
Flossing only takes a minute and it gets your teeth much cleaner and makes your breath smell much better. It hurts at first but it only takes a couple of weeks of doing it every day to get the hang of it and for your gums to get used to it.
Like I get that people don’t like flossing or whatever. But then the one time that you do and you see massive chunks of food pulled out, how can you go to sleep knowing that’s just in there?
Plus I mean like if you ignore it for a couple days it actually doesn’t smell great either. HOW CAN YOU LIVE LIKE THAT?
As a dentist, I can tell you this hits really close to home. I’m not an idiot people, I look at teeth and gums for a living, I know if you’re lying to me. I’m just polite.
I hate the dentist and avoided going for about 15 years! My wife finally made me go and I was so relieved that there were no scary words like rot or decay. And of course I never floss!
One time i told the hygienist the truth and said i dont floss because i’m lazy. Oh man it’s like she took out an entire career of frustration out on my gums after that. Never again.
I recommend getting something like one of [these](https://images-na.ssl-images-amazon.com/images/I/5152IM8kiAL.__AC_SX300_SY300_QL70_FMwebp_.jpg) bad boys. It’s not as thorough as real floss but its way more convenient and actually works pretty well.

I don’t floss. I like the dentist to make me *bleed*
Her: “Do you floss? Your gums are bleeding.”
​
Me: “They weren’t doing that when I first came in here. I think you’re responsible.”
Shhh, she’s going to find the popcorn kernels from last year in there.
[Proof that SrGrafo is flossing](https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/775060911781183498/902258066924404766/grafoifloss.gif)
I’m surprised hand wasn’t in mouth when he was speaking
Dental hygienist asking me when the last time I flossed was and I’m all “Honey you were there”
I did. Once.

She’s hot
Not gonna lie, those little disposable floss pick things really increased my yearly flossing ratio
Wait, Grafo has teeth? That is disturbing…

“Y-yes, of course I do!” *said while gums are profusely bleeding*
God flossing is hard to keep up with. I’m lucky if I get it done once a week.
Dental Picks my man, way easier than flossing!
Let me get this straight; you want me to do your job, at home, for free?
*stabs you in the chest*
“Yeah you are bleeding, how many time do you brush your teeth?”
she meant the Fortnite dance

Yes. No. Maybe. What was the question?
I can’t stand floss, it always gets stuck and I can’t ever get it out properly.

Have you been wearing your retainer to keep the expensive teeth that came from living with braces for years?
I do when I can feel something between me teeth and my tongue can’t get it out
They need to remove all my wisdom teeth so it can always be worse I guess…
One day my dentist will tell me to show how I floss and I won’t even know how to hold this thing
Real cragas don’t floss
One time i told the hygienist the truth and said i dont floss because i’m lazy. Oh man it’s like she took out an entire career of frustration out on my gums after that. Never again.
Let’s hope she doesn’t find the tooth acid I like drinking
Yeah I floss yearly☺️
Teeth shape in panel one indicates you’re a herbivore.
My girthy sausage fingers make it hard to do any of that so no.
Proceeds to floss you for 365 days in 1 minute
Dentist: floss?
Me: Yes, I’m constantly having dental flaws.
There’s nothing like sharp tools in your mouth to make you feel compelled to lie to make whoever it is happy
He nose the truth.
Ma’am the last I flossed I was sitting right here and you did it for me.
I always tell them the last time I flossed was the last visit, where they flossed for me
“Only for a couple of days before I come see you, or if I happen to remember.”
just clean my mouth abd shut up already….you know if i flossed or not!!!
should’ve talked about the dance, maybe it’ll make the nose longer
No i dont dance fortnite
“I don’t usually do actually”
*Gets subjected to what feels like an eternity of mouth torture*
That’s just his wisdom nose starting to grow out.
“Of course I floss! I can tell you the last time I flossed!!! I remember it vividly…because YOU did it!”
They already know.
They know we don’t floss, they ask just for the embarrassment.
I have a dentist appointment in two days so I’m preparing my responses.
