I started flossing in the shower—sounds weird, I know, but it actually helps me remember to do it every day. Anyone else got little tricks or habits that help keep gums healthy?
Flossing in the shower actually makes sense—less mess and easy to remember. I keep a pack of those interdental brushes by my computer. They're cheap if you buy them in bulk online, and I find myself using them absentmindedly while watching videos or reading forums. Dentist said my gums improved noticeably since I started doing that regularly, so seems to work.
I've actually tried flossing in the shower too, and yeah, it's way easier to remember when it's part of your routine. But I haven't tried those interdental brushes yet...do they really make that much difference compared to regular floss? My dentist mentioned them briefly, but I wasn't sure if it was just another gimmick or actually worth switching over. Sounds like they're working for you though, maybe I'll give them a shot.

Honestly, interdental brushes made a noticeable difference for me—I used to floss regularly but still had some gum sensitivity. After switching, things improved quite a bit. Have you tried water flossers yet? Curious what others think about them...
