You could brush your teeth 3x day, but if you aren't flossing your mouth will still smell like butt. Don't be that guy/girl.

Gum health has a significant impact on heart health. Google it if you need some motivation to floss daily.


This. All of this.

Not flossing is gross.

I’ve gotten a water pick the last two christmas’. My good one went out right before Christmas last year. The one my wife bought to replace it sucked but I used it anyway. She got me a new one this Christmas that’s an upgraded version of my original one.

I have problem teeth so I use it religiously. Capful of Clorox bleach in every tank. Promotes healthier gums, fights gingivitis and kills bacteria/infections. Rinse with OG listerine after.

That is nasty. I wonder what other aspects of hygiene you neglect?

When I was young and I heard someone say "you know when you leave food in the fridge for a long time it begins to smell? Well, you get food stuck in your teeth that you can't get out by just brushing and after while it starts to smell".. Ever since then I floss like a son of a bitch.

You mix Clorox bleach in with the water you are putting in your mouth?

ETA: Just googled it and apparently diluted bleach is a good oral antiseptic.

I always put mouthwash in my water pik.
