I floss 10x a day. LOL Im not kidding! Its kind of an OCD... There was a kind of flosser sold by Walgreens that I liked, and when I ran out, I went to CVS and they didn't sell that kind so I got Plackers. I don't like them, they are too flimsy. Try the brand from Walgreens. I think it's called DenTek. I overfloss and am causing receding gums... but I can't help it. I hate when it feels like there is food b/t my teeth! Yuck!
I never had a cavity until 2 years ago

I had to have a tooth pulled bc it had a cavity in the middle of it, that I was not aware of until the tooth cracked. Then I had to have another tooth worked on, root canal and crown. The one that cracked I had to have pulled and I now have an implant.
