Scratch out wet meat with fine little fingernail? Sometimes a little bloody but I can't pay the money for that fancy floss.

Too funny! Some of the answers are hilarious! Thanks for the laughs.
No, the overwhelming consensus is "NO!" So don't use your fingernail as floss. If you really are unable to afford dental floss, you might want to start ripping apart a few items of clothing and use thread. If you have thread about, use it and save the clothes.
What's very positive about your question is, you know the value of flossing. Get to your dentist for your six month cleaning and checkup, they will give you another 6 month's supply of dental floss. They would love to have all their patients interested in flossing.
(If you use thread, be gentle.)
If you feel like you want to floss.... FLOSS ON!

DFA=Desperate For Attention. By the way, if you can afford an ISP, then you can afford floss. Like I said, DFA.

NO WAY.If you dont think of your gums , pay attention to your finger nails. they would be ruined.
and for your acknowledgment i would add this fact that the number of microorganisms in mouth are highest among all part of the body even than intestines!!!

No, we carry alot of germs underneath our nails and you could
be at risk for an infection especially to your gums if you do this.

I THINK A LOT OF PEOPLE DOES THIS, BUT IT CAN CAUSE GERMS. FINGERNAILS ARE NOT GOOD BEING IN CONTACT WITH THE GUMS.
