Do you floss? Regularly? Do most people floss regularly?

I never managed to incorporate it into my daily routine. Whenever I go to the dentist's office, the hygienist chews me out about not flossing, and my teeth-cleanings hurt like utter hell. So to avoid the painful experience, the beratement, and the fees for the whole ordeal, I've stopped going to the dentist altogether. I haven't been back in about 2 years.

Lately, my gums have been sore in two places. (I blame the war.) I've started using Listerine. But I know what I really need to do is start flossing. Ugh.
