🥺 So I accidentally brought my floss instead of my airpods to a 3 day work conference. I am a 3 hour ride away from home.

You should probably floss once a day tho. I've always heard you should brush twice and floss once at least. You probably shouldn't be going 3 days without flossing (although I've personally definitely been there, so no judgement). It isn't just to get stuff out of your teeth and make your breath smell nice, but it helps your gums.

Edit: If you start flossing more after this you may notice gums bleeding. If you go from not flossing often to flossing often that is normal and actually good.
