How long do you floss?

Hamaka G.
I floss between my teeth while rinsing the floss under water when it get too dirty and that usually takes about 2 minutes.

It takes me about 2 minutes. I Make sure to reach every tooth. I start from the front upper teeth , then clean the right side, then the left one. Repeat the same for the bottom row. And done!

I’m so bad with this I do floss almost every night but I just do a once around on all my teeth I don’t time it or anything but I didn’t floss at all before so even doing it really quick is better than not at all

I personally don’t like flossing my teeth, so usually about 1-2 minutes. I don’t really know how long I’m supposed to floss them, but that is the amount of time that I can get to all of them in.

It truly depends on how much stuff is stuck in my teeth and how much time I have to spare to floss. If there's a lot of food stuck in my teeth, I might go again to floss, if I have less time on my hands, I might reduce the time for which I floss.

I typically floss around 2-3 times per day, once at noon once at night. Sometimes more sometimes less. Sometimes I forget to floss completely. I want to make it a habit so I can prioritize maintaining my mental health and well-being in honor of my future self. Also I’d like to have nice teeth when I’m older! And also I kinda love the gross lil process of getting the gunk out. A win-win for everybody.

Typically, a little less than five minutes.

I floss until I’ve gone over each side of each tooth. I have 28 teeth (32, minus 4 wisdom teeth that haven’t sprouted), with each tooth having two sides. I floss about 5 seconds per side of each tooth. 28 teeth x 2 sides x 5 seconds = 280 seconds total

280 seconds / 60 seconds in a minute = 4 minutes and 40 seconds.

In my opinion, flossing is just as important as brushing your teeth and maybe even more important since the food stuck between your teeth can cause more problems than the food that stuck in your teeth
So take your time and don't rush it
For me it takes about 2 minutes to make sure nothing is stuck between my teeth

It depends 2 minutes late in the day but my mornings tend to be rushed so flossing sometimes gets set aside to the last thing i do therefore only giving me a short amount of time to actually floss ( 1 minute)

It all depends on how much I got to spare,for example if I'm rushing out the door it takes me 1 minute, but other times I will take a few minutes and really get in there and make sure I get everything I possibly can out ,My dental health is very important to me so it take it seriously and get it consistent ,hope that helps

In my opinion flossing is just as important as brushing your teeth since the food that is stuck BETWEEN your teeth can cause just as many problems as the food that is stuck IN your teeth
So take your time and don't rush it
For me it usually takes about 2 minutes to make sure nothing is stuck between my teeth

Just a couple of minutes, enough time to do one full pass between all of my teeth. I actually quite enjoy flossing I just get this sense of relief after I know my teeth are clean.

I don’t measure flossing effectiveness based on time, it’s results. I floss between each tooth a few times until I see that there is nothing on the surface of my teeth and the floss comes away clean and without any plaque or residue. That’s how flossing works. How else would a human floss? Peculiar question. Do other people time how long they flow

5 minutes with mint floss. I brush my teeth a lot more than any one in my house. I use floss when I remember for at least 5 minutes
Gabrielle Z.
I'm not really sure, to be honest. Usually as long as it takes to get between all the teeth, and I can usually do that before the two minute timer is up.
