Answer
dental flosslines 1-2: Since, for humans, there is a maximum of thirty-two teeth, sixteen upper and sixteen lower, there are, at most, thirty gaps ("chasms") between these teeth, fifteen between the upper teeth and fifteen between the lower teeth.
lines 3-4: One usually flosses "post-consumption", or after eating.
lines 5-6: It is a good practice to floss daily. Dental floss is like string, therefore the play on words "stringing you along".
