Oh yeah, forgot about those.

I stick with the old fashion "wind it around your index fingers until they turn purple and then saw your way inbetween the teeth" routine.

that's the best method, really. the tension on floss forks are tight, so they don't "wrap around your teeth" (god there is another fleetwood mac lyric reference

) at all, where plain ol' floss does.

My grandparents were hooked on those stupid floss fork things...like it was a weird obsession with them for a while.

I have always hated them. I also prefer good old fashioned flossing

And apparently it's paying off - I just had my six month cleaning and no cavities - and they said my teeth/gums looked amazing

I was proud and very happy to not have to go back for a filling

It's only meeheee who wants to wrap around teeth and,
have you any plaque you'd like to sell?

I hate those floss fork things! I don't get why anyone would use them. I was flossing with the regular stuff when I posted last night... I love flossing, seriously. I manage to make it an art.

I went back and did the teeth I was on when I posted last night, since I wasn't ~wrapping around mah teeth~.

My gums are healthy, but annoyingly, I ALWAYS seem to have at least one cavity when I go to the dentist. I don't know what else to do, apart from taking my food through a tube.
