Even if flossing hurts (and makes your gums bleed) you should still do it every day. After a while of flossing regularly,the bleeding should stop. You should floss everyday, right before you brush your teeth.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Antonin Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s never too late to start flossing or anything good for for that matter. I had trouble getting into the flossing habit  but just after 3 days of doing it I can\u2019t imagine feeling comfortable with forgoing it because I now know that brushing alone only deals with 60% of the bacteri causing plaque.<br \/>\nI know you will find it gratifying to know you are doing yourself good. Just do it once for a minute. Feels great! You will want to duplicate that feeling of getting it done again! <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Amelia J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It\u2019s never too late to floss. Once you start and make it a habit it gets difficult to turn back and stop doing it. And it helps when you get a compliment from your dentist about flossing!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marie F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Its okay to forget sometimes, other times you remember but still skip because you think you already did but haven&#39;t but as soon as you realise that you truly haven&#39;t its never too late to correct yourself and do what is right.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marsha X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">As a 50+ year old I can tell you that you\u2019ll be grateful that you started a daily flossing regime, no matter at what age you start.  I didn\u2019t really start until my 30s&#8230; but still it was only once or twice a week (just off and on before that).  And thanks to Faboulous, I\u2019m up to twice a day!  <\/p>\n<p>With practice, it only takes 2 or 3 minutes \u2014 no big deal! And it DOES make a difference in your health and confidence.  (Your gum health can even affect your heart health!  And it will certainly affect your dental bills.)<\/p>\n<p>Please floss!  Its important!<\/p><\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Camille I. When you have no teeth left. It is useful in general, even if your mouth is in very bad condition.
