    I use floss, too. :( .every morning and night. I still don’t know the reason for it. A dentist told me it was just a genetic thing and I should be way more careful than others. Another dentist told me it could probably be anemia. But I’ve read that bulimia causes cavities (I used to be bulimic for a long period)

      Your fear is very rational then haha. It also helps to consciously scrape the front and rear tooth with the floss. Much easier to do with floss picks.

      Other than that you can look into some blood work for that anemia and any other anomalies. My condolences man, that sounds so fuckin tough.
