Particles trapped between teeth are the most common cause of tooth decay.
Flossing can completely remove all trapped food particles.
Brushing can’t.
I have not had a single cavity since I started flossing.
First I heard mammograms weren’t necessary every year - tell that to my grandmother who died from breast cancer.
Then I hear that pap smears aren’t necessary every year.
Little things, even flossing, that contribute to American’s longevity are being chipped away. My sister doesn’t believe in flossing and has big gaps between all her teeth.
I floss in the shower every night and get a clean bill of health from my dentist. That being said, having spent quite a bit of time in Great Britain, I never once saw a dentist office. We Americans take very good care of our teeth and I will continue to believe that flossing has a big part of it.
picking works pretty well.
Brush and WaterPik before I go to sleep. Works well, and far less disgusting than trying to run a piece of string through my teeth.
There’s panic as Big Floss.
Just saw my (Texas) dentist this morning. He liked my take on this “startling news item.” So there are not many studies that prove flossing is good. I’ve never seen even one study that says cow manure stinks, either. That is no reason to believe it doesn’t stink, though. [ I cleaned that up a lot.]
The media that is telling us that flossing is useless is the same media that is selling Hillary.
