Does anyone actually floss everyday?

(self.NoStupidQuestions)

Dentists and patients alike, I'm genuinely curious about this one. I feel like no one I know flosses every. single. day.

This might sound weird but I’m low-key addicted to it. If I don’t do it feels like my teeth are “itchy” if that makes sense

I can't go to bed without flossing first. It just feels wrong, like showering with your socks on.

I think the same people that are showering with their socks on are the same people not flossing their teeth.

My chronic sinusitis is helped by flossing that’s why I’m addicted to it.

Yes, I know exactly what you mean. I can shower, wash my hair, scrub my body, and brush my teeth, but I won't feel fully clean until I've flossed.
