Seriously, everyone should floss at least once a day. Makes a huge difference. Brushing alone is simply not hygienic enough.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 8 points 10 months ago (3 children)

i'll floss the day someone invents a way that isn't comically ardous and miserable.

I couldn't even be arsed to brush my teeth until i got an electric toothbrush, it simply will not happen if it's too annoying, no matter how motivated i am.

[–] HowdyLemmy@lemmy.zip 10 points 10 months ago (4 children)

Have you tried this kind of flosser?

[–] Passerby6497@lemmy.world 8 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago)

You:

The guy she told you not to worry about:

There's also ones like that where you wrap the floss around it yourself, which greatly reduces your plastic waste, especially if you use an eco friendly floss.

[–] dbtng@eviltoast.org 4 points 10 months ago (1 children)

I hate all the plastic I waste. And I aint super hygienic about it, re-use em a couple times.
But I love those things.
I have 2 dental implants. Flossing is not optional.
And implants are about $5,000 + 1 year of your life. Its an investment you don't want to re-do.
I'm not some dental saint here, I lost those teeth originally through poor care. I brush once or twice daily, but I floss after every meal.

[–] mrgoosmoos@lemmy.ca 2 points 10 months ago

I reuse them probably a lot longer than I should. but like, yeah, plastic waste. sure it's not much, but it's the principle

keeps me flossing pretty much daily though, and my teeth are better for it. cleaner anyways

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 4 points 10 months ago (2 children)

the thing is that so long as you have to shove a piece of string between your teeth and manually move it around, it's going to be annoying. We need something like an electric toothbrush but for flossing.

[–] Bubs12@lemmy.cafe 5 points 10 months ago

You are describing a waterpik, my friend.

[–] HowdyLemmy@lemmy.zip 3 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (2 children)

Oh shit, it's real!

goflaus.com

It's like $100 for a kit of the handle and 45 floss heads, and when you need more floss heads, it's like $20 for 90 floss heads. Swedneck, I am too invested for you not to say that you'll check out some kind of electric flosser or at least a water pick!

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 6 points 10 months ago* (last edited 10 months ago) (1 children)

About as much fun as a vibrating device can be. Well, almost.

I almost want to buy one just to reward them for going there.

Our Flaus Heads use the highest performing glide floss in the market — a PolyTetraFluoroEthylene monofilament tape floss.

On second thought, I don’t think I want to shred Teflon strings in my mouth every day.

[–] Amir@lemmy.ml 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

Teflon itself seems to be safe, right?

[–] humorlessrepost@lemmy.world 2 points 10 months ago

It’s safe to cook on if you don’t heat it past 500°F.

Maybe I’m being overly paranoid by not wanting to ingest small amounts twice daily, but I’m going to err on the side of an abundance of caution there.

[–] Swedneck@discuss.tchncs.de 2 points 10 months ago

that one actually looks good, though i have very little desire to buy something i can't buy new heads for at the grocery store.

Waterpik has the upside that it just uses water, but is instead hilariously bulky and i've heard those actually aren't very effective (and i'm not willing to spend $60 only to find out that it indeed isn't very useful). This being an actual flosser seems much better and i look forward to it becoming as standard as electric toothbrushes so i can get one without having to trust a random company online (which ain't happening).

If i see an electric flosser at a physical store or at least a domestic online store for a reasonable price, i will absolutely get one.

[–] Empricorn@feddit.nl 2 points 10 months ago

Personally, I love these.

[–] TempermentalAnomaly@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago (1 children)

You might also like a water pik. They are as effective as flossing the last time I looked into it.

[–] deepus@lemmy.world 1 points 10 months ago

I have one and thery are great for hygiene, but still a bit annoying to use.

[–] RaivoKulli@sopuli.xyz 1 points 10 months ago

And it's fun because you get all sort of gunky treasures you can marvel at
