Is it really bad to your teeth if you floss only everyotherday but brush twice a day always?

Question:

Answers:
Everyone is different. Some people are just more proned to decay.. so they should obviously floss everyday... other people naturally have stronger enamel so their teeth are more resistant to decay.

I might floss my teeth like 5 times a year.. Im 21 and have never had a cavity... I even had braces and didn't really floss (although I did more than 5 times a year)...

Flossing though will save your teeth from gingivitus (iritation of the gums)... obviously they are iritated from plaque being close to the gingival tissue... It also saves you from plaque decaying the cementum of the tooth (underneath the gums, below the enamel, and around the root)... cementum isn't as strong as enamel so it can decay faster than having a cavity on your actual tooth!

Other Answers:
Probably not. At least I don't think so! Ask your dentist for best advice...

I HAVE NO CLUE ALL I THINK IS IT SHOULDN'T BE A PROBLEM

no. at least you are flossing more often than many people do (lol~ according to my dentist, who would like to see most people floss AT LEAST twice a week...)

I answer this question often. How often do you shampoo your hair or take a shower? Sometimes you can get away with skipping a day, but never, ever with skipping two. If your gums are really healthy, you can miss an occasional day here and there without guilt. I don't know about going on an every other day routine, though. Once per 24 hours is the standard.
