I'm going to floss daily the week prior to my dental cleaning so I can pretend that I've been flossing all year when they ask.
Do you not floss any other time?
No, not really.
I think it is wrong to lie to your dentist about your teeth cleaning habits. They can't help you if you are going to lie to them. It is best to just tell the truth when you can.
It's fine, I will just say that I forgot to bring my floss to the dentist.
You do know they can tell by looking at your teeth right? There is something called calculus which can form and is only removable by the scaler.
