I prefer to floss between them.

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 15 points 5 months ago

Or use a Water Pick. I switch it up every other day and use floss in between.

Some dentists don't like floss as it can sometimes drive those bits further down.

[-] ThunderWhiskers@lemmy.world 11 points 5 months ago

I also love my water pick but it is considerably more of a chore to do.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 8 points 5 months ago

I find it much easier and dislike flossing more

[-] KnightontheSun@lemmy.world 6 points 5 months ago

It is an appliance so perhaps your setup makes it more difficult to use. I leave it near the sink and just use it with my slobbering mouth over the sink. No more time or effort than flossing for me.

I will say the thing is louder than it should be. Like a damn motor boat when turned up to high.

Floss your teeth people, people.

I have successfully evaded the Brush brigades and the Floss patrols up until now but I fear that my position is weakening.

I fear the tides of Listerine, for I do not know how to swim, and they take no prisoners.

Poppy seed is a heathen!

I bought some steel dental picks because I'm so sick of having stuff get jammed between my teeth. Nuts aren't much better, they will always break into perfect little pyramid like bits that fit right between your molars and are impossible to remove with your tongue or even fingernail.

Luckily nuts are mostly made of protein so they'll digest in your mouth. Meat though, your mouth can't digest fat so you can literally have rotting meat in your mouth. It's nasty.

For me berry seeds are the worst. I love berries but I find myself hardly chewing them because I hate the seeds being stuck everywhere.

Next comes the vigorous swishing of the water.

[-] kameecoding@lemmy.world 3 points 5 months ago

Waterpick works great for me

[-] JustZ@lemmy.world 12 points 5 months ago

To be honest I've never considered the monologue of something stuck in my teeth.
