I do it every few weeks or so. If I do it more frequently than my gums bleed.

oh that used to happen to me, but if you take 1000mg vitamin c tablets daily it cures the bleeding. Generally its not gingivitis or anything just a deficiency in vitamin c. It pretty much cures it staight away.

I floss whenever I eat corn on the cob, and sometimes after I've eaten steak. Foods that stick in your teeth.

You know the RDI of vitamin C is usually around 100mg per day (in the US, anyway - it's 45mg per day here)? And that all of that comes from fresh fruit and vegetables (and we usually consume quite a bit above the RDI)? I do not have a vitamin C deficiency; if I did, I would be suffering far more severe symptoms.

It's quite silly that they put so much vitamin C in supplements. You'll just pee 95% of it out. Vitamin C is one of those things where you just need your RDI. Anything over that gets removed from your body.

You need like... half a glass of OJ a day to get 100% of your RDI. One piece of fruit. Nobody has a vitamin C deficiency.

I floss when I eat something that sticks in your teeth, and sometimes just when I generally feel like a really good clean.

BTW how often should you go to the dentist, just for check-ups and shit. I honestly haven't been since I was like 8. My teeth just haven't posed me any problems ever.

Except I still have a few baby teeth which I think is extremely weird and should be checked out, but mum and dad both had the same thing and so does my sister so it might not be so abnormal for me. Idk. It doesn't cause me any pain so I hardly think about it.
