Do you have to floss if you didn't eat anything that day?

I googled it, but surprisingly couldn't find an exact answer. I'm assuming just to be safe, that you should floss regardless if you ate anything or not?

I could be wrong but yes, it supposedly stimulates the gums

Ummm…you shouldn’t floss anyway…flossing drives particulate matter deep into the gum tissue…creating the very situation flossing attempts to relieve…

Brush and rinse…and stay away from mouth wash…it kills too much of the beneficial mouth bacteria colonies…


This has been a public service announcement…tune in tomorrow for more periodontal relief belief…

Dont floss. Just brush. With peroxide, and baking soda. Then gargle after. Gum bleeds can send that bacterium into your blood stream, and they can land on a heart valve.

Just kidding.

Or maybe not

Flossing wards off mouth trolls.

Why haven’t you eaten today? Did you have to get gas?

I use a water flosser after brushing
along with those little brushes by G.U.M
Never was a fan of the string thing I can't go
more than 5 -6 hours with out a brushing or water flossing
even without eating but that's just me I asked my hygienist the
same question because I am back to work and won't
be able to keep that up what she said was if you're not
eating take a little bottle of rinse with you
and swish with it during the day I prefer colgate
gum health its light and no alcohol.

Plaque will start to build no matter if you ate or not.

Flossing is counter productive if you do not do it correctly. Try swishing around warm (not hot!) coconut oil for like 10-15 minutes in your mouth without swallowing.

It opens up the gums, helps removing the bacteria and leaves a clean feeling.

I floss every single day, no matter what.
And have my teeth cleaned every 6 months.
The dentist always tells me I have great gums because I floss every single day, keeps the gums clean!
