There\u2019s also been recent studies linking poor dental hygiene to Alzheimer\u2019s, which is not something I want to experience. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Camila N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I floss once a day at night. I suppose you could do it in the morning but I figure my mouth is dirtiest at night. I also use mouth wash too. I floss everyday because it is strongly recommended by my dentist and probably all dentists. They told me that it doesn&#39;t matter which order you brush and floss your teeth but I brush then floss then use mouth wash.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Vicky J.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I floss every evening. One reason is because it\u2019s good for my teeth and gums but the other and probably more important reason is that it\u2019s a small accomplishment that I can always do no matter how my day went. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Ev Ncio P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I floss once a day, usually at night. I always do it BEFORE I brush my teeth. I do this because it allows me to get rid of things between my teeth without running the risk of getting them more suck. It also gives me a chance to get the taste of blood out if my gums are inflamed for some reason.  Everyone is different, so it\u2019s always a good idea to ask your dentist how many times a day they recommend you floss. If it\u2019s not something your used to doing, start a few times a week and work your towards flossing everyday. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Darren P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I floss every night before bedtime, before or after brushing. I do it to prevent cavities and to keep up my heart health, as gum disease has been related to heart disease. I follow up with mouthwash, which also helps fight against cavities, gingivitis and bleeding gums.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Cassandre S.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I try to floss every night. It\u2019s on my nightly routine list to do M-F. I floss often to reduce swelling&#x2F;pain in my gums. I used to never floss but that caused my gums to inflame&#x2F;bleed. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Andrea X.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I wasnt flossing as often as I should thanks to this app I started doing my morning and night routines and I\u2019m now remembering to floss 2x a day <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Debbie O.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I&#39;m a dentist and I&#39;ve seen the difference it can make in my patients. And I don&#39;t want cavities or periodontal disease!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Alma P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I floss twice a day. One in the evening and once in the morning. I like to do this routine because it helps me feel good about my smile and I know it is good for my heart. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Marie P.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Once a day, at the end of the day, after all eating has been already done. I am working to increase this to twice a day.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Queila N.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Every night before bed (I skip Friday &amp; Saturday).  I floss to keep cavities from forming between my teeth, and it\u2019s really gross what you can pull out of there. And I don\u2019t want that stuff on my gums. It\u2019s a recent habit. But I\u2019m sticking with it. <\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jonathan W.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">I floss because I want a healthy mouth.  Since I have diabetes I am more susceptible to gum disease.  I want to take care my teeth!<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<div class=\"single-answer\">\n<div class=\"who-answered\">Jim F.<\/div>\n<div class=\"detailed-answer\">Twice a day, every time I bruahy teeth; I feel it is easier to keep them clean if I floss regularly compared to just doing it once in a while, which duces the time I spend doing it. Secondly, the cleaner mouth makes me confort.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Ricky C. I floss twice a day, each time I brush my teeth.
