I never used flost before... recently I went to see my dentist, she told me I have to clean my teeth by using flostingregularly so that it can keep my teeth gum in good condition... I always feel it hurts 
She helped me to do that when I was laying down on that scary chair, I said it doesn't hurt just because I wnat her to finish the thing so she won't keep fixing my teeth...
I just always use toothpick after eating, I find it convenient and doesn't hurt my teeth but I know dirt can still hide underneath... but... it is no fun to flost.
Can you flost right? Do you use toothpick or flost?

I only use a toothpick when I feel that there is something in my teeth and I always floss every night before I go to sleep, but not after every meal.

I use the floss occasionally.....meaning, only when I remember! hehe. Toothpick is the nearest one available so I pick more than I floss. Flossing can really be messy so I usually do it after bathing infront of the sink.

I think it is quite gross to floss, doing it at the bathroom will be good.

No, toothpick doesn't do a good job of keepiong the tooth clean at all, I would try to use it...

Hi mermaid...Whenever I use toothpicks I always poked myself and hurt my teeth and gums. So since I'm not good at that, I just stick to dental floss. I never hurt myself with the floss and it's super easy to just floss my teeth before I brush!

Yes I do use tooth pick's, But I also floss in the morning's and at night when I brush. But I also have used tooth pick's for year's. It has alway's seemed easier to me when your eating a meal to just use a tooth pick afterward's.
