Majority of available studies fail to demonstrate that flossing generally effective in plaque removal: review


It's one of the most universal recommendations in all of public health: Floss daily to prevent gum disease and cavities. Except there's little proof that flossing works.



I always knew flossing was a fcuking scam :2 cents: GFY Do you floss?

Paid Trump trolls or Trump himself?
 

Wrong thread...

Plus i hate it 😂

i honestly dont know many adults who floss on the regular...Like the majority I only floss before a dentist's visit most of the time.

I started a few months ago on my dentists recommendation. I do once or twice a day. Whether it works or not, I don't think I care, it feels very nice afterwards. My gums no longer bleed either.

I use interdental brushes daily, those are awesome

I have those type brushing heads in a handle like a toothbrush has. CPS-15

Those look like plugins for a electric toothbrush or a water pik device?
If you don't clean between your teeth they will rot you will also end up with gum disease and irreversible jaw bone loss and your teeth will start getting lose.

Its no good for me as I no longer have 2 teeth that are both close enough together to floss. I just put the brush in the gap and brush both sides...

I've been using one of those rubber pick things for about 5 years now because I hate flossing. My cleanings previously looked like a horror movie and it was painful as fuck. Now they're easy and quick.

When you see all that gunk on the rubber tip every night....that's the the shit that would be calcifying around your gum line and making dental office cleanings a nightmare.

Those interdental brushes mentioned are pretty good too.

I floss everyday and my dental hygienist would kick me in the sack if I didn't

you put these on plastic holders like these:

My gums feel awful if I don't floss. I think it just varies from person to person.

:2 cents:

i think you can have healthy gums if you brush long enough, but flossing does help, and is also where a lot of cavities start. avoiding sugar often seems to help it along as well.

zero cavities.

how u remove the poop?

every day. it just doesn't feel right if i don't.

That's rubbish. Flossing is the only way to clean between the teeth and it does a good job of that. I know too many people who don't floss and it's something you should do once every week at the very minimum.

I only floss maybe few times a year (yep I would say max 5) and my teeth + gums are flawless perfect. I've not got any dental work on them since I was a child. Only get a regular cleaning from a dentist maybe once a year if that. So = must use floss on a regular basis, in my books a mythbuster!

I floss multiple times / day, mainly because I like how my mouth feels afterwards. If your teeth are not very close together, might be possible that it doesn't help much.

I have multiple implants and I need to be rigorous about it :)

Awwww... Bless your sweet sweet innocence...

As if I want to remove it! :1orglaugh

Dentist seems to be able to pick out who flosses and who doesn't

Lol goddamn it you've all guilted and shamed me into flossing more :1orglaugh Although i still think most of you are liars :winkwink:

In case you are unsure ...
Nice stubs :helpme
