My most recent trip to the dentist include a brief recommendation to floss, but they weren't really pushing it like they used to.
Gummy bears are delicious.
It's best to wait a while. But then, when you do brush, go ahead and floss too!

Even at such top-tier restaurants, you probably still need to bring your own dental floss.
Dental floss has only been around for about 200 years. I wonder if the texture of fruit has changed such that 2400 years ago it was easier to extract from between your teeth than it is today.

A good reason to keep some floss handy when dining on corn-on-the-cob!

A dental technician once asked me what I did for my job, and upon hearing my reply said, "Well, as an engineer, you really should have a better concept of how to floss than you apparently do."
