It\u2019s uncomfortable and at times makes me bleed or makes my mouth sore for a while. I\u2019ve just never been able to make it a habit.

For the most part, I try and remind myself that it doesn\u2019t take long and that it\u2019s good for me so that keeps me motivated to keep flossing each night.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Arthur X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Sometimes I find myself creating excuses for not flossing. It ranges from \u201cbrushing my teeth will be good enough\u201d to \u201cI\u2019m too tired\u201d to \u201cI\u2019ll do it in the morning\u201d. All of these things are irrelevant. No matter how tired I am or convinced that I\u2019ll  get to it later, I try to remember that it\u2019s best for me in the long run. It takes no time at all and will save me from dental bills later!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jonathan W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Being too tired or going to bed so late that I am only prepared to brush my teeth.<br \/>\nAlso, late night snacking.<br \/>\nIf I floss my teeth straight after dinner then I won&#39;t snack and only drink water until bed time<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Mylan O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I tend to skip flossing because I think it is a waste of time, which it is not and I\u2019m just giving myself an excuse to not do it. I am currently trying making it a habit so I don\u2019t skip it anymore. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Caleb Y.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">It seems like it doesn&#39;t do anything. Sometimes it hurts a little. Sometimes I feel too tired to do something that seems like it&#39;s pointless<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Livio N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">If I don&#39;t have flossers readily available, if I&#39;m already comfortable in bed. My solution is to keep a flosser in&#x2F;near my bed haha<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Louis O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;m too lazy to do it, and I don&#39;t really care about taking care of myself. I haven&#39;t cared my health for a couple of years. I&#39;m inconsistent more than avoidant. I&#39;m glad I will focus on it more now.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Tom R.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Too sleepy to finish the entire brushing-flossing-gargling routine. Lesson learned: plan ahead and make time. Be intentional. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">L Rke N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Getting so tired that I\u2019m too tired to actually do my Evening Routine. But I\u2019ve been pretty consistent since I started using Fabulous&#8230;<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Kent C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I used to not floss because it seemed time consuming. But after practicing it for a while I realized it takes less than a minute.<br \/>\nAnd good dental health has been shown to reduce the risk of heart attacks and Alzheimer\u2019s. So one minute a day seems totally worth it!!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Brian E.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Flossing has become such a good habit for me, I rarely don\u2019t floss. When I don\u2019t floss, it\u2019s because I\u2019ve run out of floss, or I have a canker sore or some other irritation and am using a water pick or salt water rinse instead. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Bernd Dieter F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">My first thought was laziness, but really it\u2019s when I put off some things I have to do until the evening, then stay busy until bed time, and then tell myself I don\u2019t have time for my evening routine and have to go to sleep ASAP<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Clifford Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Nothing. I never did as a child and rarely did as an adult. I ended up with a lot of gum issues in my late 30s, early 40s. My brother in law had horrific breath&#8230;and it smelled familiar! I decided it was gross, so I started floating and brushing twice a day with a Sonicare. Then when I turned 50, I got invisalign braces. I liked them so much I started brushing and flossing 3-4x a day, but for shorter time. The results were amazing. Ive completely reversed my gum disease and I love my teeth now. Sometimes you&#39;ve got to get so low that you decide it&#39;s ridiculous.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Il Dio Q.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Flossing is an important matters and some how I take it for granted. Sometimes I skipped it because I was too exhausted from work. I was thinking that I could do it later after my nap. I can see now that I was not managed my energy well. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Anita A.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I go out and drink, and it is late and I am a bit tipsy.<br \/>\nWhen it is late and Rodrigo is already sleeping.<br \/>\nWhen there is no floss.\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Silje C.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">When I already lay in a bed, that is a point for me, when I can struggle a bit. The thing is that along with my depression I can be laying in a bed since the rarly afternoon. So if I decide to go to sleep and wake up in the morning, it is very hard to wake up just to floss. But reminders from Fabulous help me to think abot the purpose of why it is so important to do the part of any habit. Amd that is usually the point when I can be strong enough to wake up, floss and get back to bed \ud83d\ude42<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Frederik W. Laziness.
