"People who smoke cigarettes, they say:

“You don’t know how hard it is to quit smoking.”

Yes, I do. It’s as hard as it is to start flossing." - Mitch Hedberg

    The issue is, if you start flossing here and there, then they start recommending every night. If you do that, they recommend after every meal.

    Feels like a negative sum game.

      They must have eventually wrote something in my file. A few years ago the nagging stopped and the dentist just says “I’ll take what I can get” after asking how often I floss.

      Just do a quick tour with a toothpick before brushing at night. Costs almost no time nor effort, yet is a massive improvement.

          I can’t even get floss between some of my teeth without shredding it how am I supposed to get a toothbrush in there. If floss or a waterpik, which I really should buy, can’t do it, I’m out of luck.
