Be honest..how often do you floss your teeth? And how many cavities do you have?

I am not going to lie.i don't do it as much as i should..but i have 0 cavities! just wondering what the norm is. thanks :)

Answers:
I try to floss every day, but the reason for flossing is not really for cavity reduction -- the main reason is to reduce the growth of bacteria at the gum line and between your teeth. If you disturb the bacteria and remove some of them by flossing they don't grow as fast.
Bacteria at the gum lines and between the teeth can cause cavities, but mostly gum disease (periodontal disease) this gradually causes your gums to recede and your TEETH TO LOOSEN!

once a day. but i still have a damn cavity!
I don't floss that often, because I have braces, and it's harder. But I brush twice a day, and I've never had a cavity.

i floss two times a day or more if I get corn or something like I did today. But I have about 6 cavities.
Only once per day, eventhough I have lots of cavity and most of my teeth are south. Are you happy now. Heee heee heee.
I think flossing helps against gingivitis, plaque and tartar build up, not cavities, that's where proper brushing comes in.
I floss once a week and have had a couple cavities. Also, some people have weaker teeth that can be more susceptible to cavities than others.
I floss once a day, or every other day. Brush 1-2 times a day and best of all: No cavities!!
I with you on this one.I hardly remember to floss and have never had a cavity!
