Flossing is all about the \u201chassle factor\u201d to me. Because it\u2019s not usually as easy as brushing it tends to get skipped, especially if you\u2019re already tired. <\/p>\n

I really like the Listerine Ultraclean flossers. They\u2019re only $2 st Walmart and look like a rake, with the head being a bow of thin floss. Because it\u2019s as long as a toothbrush, it\u2019s easy to get between all the back teeth\u2014something the shorter 2.5 inch flossers don\u2019t do. They usually hit the side of your mouth trying to get the molars clean. <\/p>\n

So if you don\u2019t want to deal with tourniqueting your fingertips, getting spit all over your hands, or ripping floss in between your teeth, that\u2019s my recommendation. <\/p>\n

Another is to not wait till the end of the day. Like exercise you can floss anytime, so mix it up. Do it after lunch when you\u2019re less likely to skip it. Flossing even once a day is more than a majority of people do on a regular basis. Weird when you know that 7 out of 8 cavities on adult teeth start in between teeth.<\/p>\n

Plus, I keep a flossers in my car and do it at red lights. You\u2019re always bound to hit one. Probably gross for anyone staring at me. But it\u2019s like that saying goes:<\/p>\n

In my 20\u2019s I worried about what other people thought. In my 30\u2019s and 40\u2019s I didn\u2019t care what people thought of me. In my 50\u2019s I realized no one had been thinking about me at all. <\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>
