Time for your fifteen minutes of fame.

I’ve been flossing 4-6 times a week since I was a teenager. I’ve had a grand total of 1 cavity my entire life. I use a floss pick now, so the “manual dexterity” issue claim is a canard.

The UK is not the best source for dental advice

[nickcarraway]

It’s from a British newspaper, big surprise. I think I won’t take teeth advice from them.

Now I can free up some space in my medicine cabinet.

[Politicalkiddo]

My dentist always compliments my teeth. I floss, mouthwash, and brush twice a day. I’m not going to stop on the off-chance that I’m “doing it wrong”.

[butlerweave]

flossing gets the left over bits out that cause BAD BREATH

I Just want a Dentic to life in my mouth and clean my teeth

[lee martell]

Everything I thought I knew as fact, is now being declared ‘false’. Just yesterday, I saw two examples, A.’Sitting for long periods of time does not shorten your life. B. Heavy consumption of antioxidants in foods can help cancer cells grow and spread.

[Slyfox]

Most people have to get crowns on their back two molars precisely because they don’t floss in between those two teeth.

Dental advice from England?

[A CA Guy]

Flossing can lead to making your gums bleed as well if you go too low on the gum and the gum opens up a little.
Then all the dirt in your mouth makes it’s way into the blood stream.
Arteries close and then you are in a box in the dirt awaiting the second coming of Christ.

Outside of that, floss away! LOL

[kidd]

“if not performed correctly”

is the key qualifier.
Driving a car may do more harm than good if not performed correctly.

Performed correctly, flossing is nearly as beneficial as brushing correctly

[Jewbacca]

Dental advice from England.

Almost as good as my mother’s pork pie recipe.

[PGR88]

is he also the 5th dentist who DOESN’T recommend Trident gum?

[Califreak]

Waterpik daily, use hydrogen peroxide instead of water on occasion. I only use floss or picks once in a while.

[RoosterRedux]

I floss after every meal. Have done so for as long as I can remember.

Well, I now have a WaterPik for after every meal, though I still floss one a day just to get between tight teeth..

Anyone who doesn't want a clean mouth and fresh breath is nuts IMHO. Just ask your wife or girlfriend.

My dentist and hygienist heartily agree.
