Hahaha, very unused part of the forum

So, I was never taught how to floss. I was never even told I HAD to floss, which has led to me having to get a tooth removed

I've been trying and trying, and I think I might be flossing retarded. Either my teeth are too close together, and I can't get the floss in, or they're too far apart and the floss just slides right off and doesn't do anything beneficial. Or, and this is most likely, I'm doing it wrong.

How do you floss? How do your teeth feel afterwards? I bought a flossing brush yesterday, and after doing all my teeth they ached, it was quite painful. But not stabby pains, more like a painful 'glow' around each tooth. Could that be because its the first time I've ever done it?

How often do you floss? Is it an after-every-meal thing, or a daily thing?
