    Probably because it’s a long, tedious, repetitive task. Brushing teeth only take a minute or two, maybe three if you’re getting really thorough, whereas flossing thoroughly or consistently adds much more time to that. At least that’s my excuse

      My old dentist suggested keeping floss wherever you sit to relax (his example was wherever you sit to watch TV). That way, you can spend as much time as you need to floss thoroughly, without it feeling like flossing is taking up a bunch of time out of your day. It’s not a perfect solution, but it has been helping me.

      buy floss picks. I floss daily and it takes all of 30 seconds.

        Yes, let’s add to the mounds of plastic already forming on the planet because we can’t be bothered to use a string.

      This is not my experience at all. It takes me at least three minutes to brush properly, but I can floss in under a minute.
