Do it everyday .You need to get flossing BEFORE cleaning so that the Bristles of the brush and ToothPaste are not clogged from getting between the tooth by "huge chunks"

You must clean your teeth at least once a day with dental floss as this removes plaque and food particles. Also flossing will help you to prevent heart attack and stroke.

Ideally, how many times should you floss in a single day, if you eat a lot of sweet stuff like chocolates (heavy consumption)?:

I was talking with someone the other day who had just heard or read about a study that gave 10 suggestions about how to add 5 more years onto your life. One of these suggestions included flossing everyday. Now, it did not include how many times a day you should floss, just that you should floss at least once a day. Looks like I should take a few extra minutes everyday in order to hopefully add a few more years to my life!

That makes a lot of sense. I know that the last thing I want to do when I'm tired and ready for bed is floss. I usually aim to brush/floss/wash my face an hour before I'm actually going to bed, so that when I'm tired and want to go to sleep there are fewer barriers in my way of getting there.

This sounds horrible but I actually floss once a day randomly. I carry floss, toothpaste, and a toothbrush around with me because you never know when you might need it. Chewing trident gum, eating an apple, and even rinsing with a mouth wash will also work if you cannot floss twice twice a day, because when it's late all your thinking about is bed and not flossing your teeth.

How many times a day should you floss? I always figured it was a once a day activity (brush in the morning, brush and floss at night), but I read an article today that said you should floss twice a day. Personally, I hate flossing and only do it because I suppose I really should, and I don't like the idea of adding it to my already rushed mornings. How often do you think it's necessary to floss? How often do you floss?
