Going to the dentist tomorrow for the first time in a couple of years and obviously he's going to tell me I have gingivitis and need to floss more. The last time I was there, the dentist had the balls to tell me he thinks I'm "brushing too hard" and it's bad for my gums, as he shredded my gums apart with a metal pick. Whose gums don't bleed when the dentist stabs at them? My girlfriend flosses twice a day, every day, and the last time she went to the dentist he told her she had gingivitis. How do you even avoid this poo poo?

You can't avoid it, our teeth are hosed because we love to eat terrible unnatural food so the best we can do is a long war of attrition against decay.

My dentist thinks I'm really weird because I'm struggling to suppress a boner every time I visit her.

lol you realize that you can floss and brush wrong ...like if you're brushing incorrectly or NOT for two minutes like you're supposed to!! if you eat or drink a bunch of acidic stuff like it's not really gonna matter the plaque and stuff is already forming between brushes and flossing also yes everybody probably has mild gingivitis but you don't want periodontal disease that's when you start losing teeth

If your dentist recommended flossing for reduction of gingivitis, he's a poo poo dentist. There is no evidence supporting the efficacy of flossing for reduction of gingivitis related inflammation.

My dentist says that flossing is like exercise for your gums. I have spent hours staring into his nose and counting his nose hairs

I got scared into daily flossing too, OP. Also I got a bunch of cavities filled at the beginning of the year and now there's black spots growing up from around the filling in at least one molar, should this upset me?

gingivitis is made up by big floss

I don't because I brush my teeth and use mouthwash twice a day so my teeth stay clean and not gross

I'm pretty sure it's just one of those made up things. "You have the gingavitus because you have gums and teeth in you" "You have herpes technically because you had chicken pox when you were a kid." Stuff like that.

You shouldn't floss more than once a day otherwise it's bad for your teeth. Get a toothbrush with soft bristles so you don't eff up your gums. Dentists have a high suicide rate and I like to keep my dentist happy and optimistic. Plus having good dental hygiene is a nice feeling.

I don't think gingivitis will be an issue as I've had all my teeth surgically replaced with USB sticks.

Everyone has different teeth and gums. The last time I went, the dentist didn't even tell me to floss more often. He actually said, "keep up the good work". I brush once a day and never floss. I just pick my teeth with a knife from time to time. I usually use my thumbnail to keep the plaque down. Dentistry is a scam. My mother brushes her teeth 3 times a day and has had to have bone grafts due to horrific cavities. She never eats sweets. My father doesn't even brush his teeth at all (he does do the fingernail and knife thing). He has never has cavities. My brother has several caps, and he is meticulous. I've only had a couple of pin prick cavities that were filled with no need for anesthetic. My grandfather had most of his teeth fall out on their own, though he took care of them. I'm pretty sure my grandmother never brushed her teeth a day in her life and she died at 100 years old with a full set. Life is life. Fingernails and a pocket knife works the best. You can fold a piece of paper in a pinch if you need to scrape your teeth.

At least Halitosis was made up by the Listerine company but you should brush your drat teeth.
