Flossing

I'm asked "Do you floss?" every time I go to the dentists.  And every time I respond "No I don't, but I know I should".  But then the hygienist actually flosses my teeth - and it's painful and I hate it, and so I don't floss between dentist visits.  A classic vicious circle.  So I've decided on a compromise.  I've just ordered a water flosser.  I'm sure it's probably a lot less effective than using actual floss, but it also seems a lot less hassle and a lot less painful.  And that suits me just fine, and it's better than nothing.
