Hate to floss?

Last night as I was doing my nightly bedtime routine (floss, brush teeth, wash face, put on moisturizer) I was remembering how I used to NEVER floss and how much I hated it. I had dentist after dentist tell me, "you need to be flossing" and "you're going to get gingivitis if you don't floss." I just couldn't be bothered and didn't feel like it did much UNTIL I got a tip from a friend. She told me to floss before I brush b/c then you'll see all the gunk (I know, gross!) that comes out of your teeth before brushing and it will seem worthwhile. Well, I'll tell ya, it worked. I started flossing before I brushed and it's true - it's gross and does seem worth my time. Now I floss every single night and don't mind it a bit. Just thought I'd share this tip in case there are others out there who hate to floss. Hope it doesn't gross you out too early in the morning.

Happy Flossing!
