> floss periodically

I used to do this periodically because I hated doing it. But as a result, plaque would build up. Especially on the front bottom incisors.

Eventually added it to my daily routine after the nth time being told to floss daily. And now my dental cleanings are more like spot checks.

I suppose it’s anecdotal and unique to everyone though. Something about mouth flora.

But…flossy daily is literally flossing periodically. Or did you mean you used to do an unspecified longer period? Or aperiodically?
