VAMatt said: I used to floss daily. But, I then learned that it has very little health benefit *if you brush your teeth a couple of times per day*. If you don't brush, flossing is very beneficial. But, brushing does 99% of the job. So, flossing on top of brushing doesn't do much. Nowadays, I floss when I have something stuck in my teeth, or if I notice the floss when I'm not busy, and decide to give it a go. I probably average 1.5 times per week. |
Where'd you hear that? My dentist told me when I was 18 (damn near 20 years ago now) that if I didn't start flossing I'd be losing teeth by my 40s.
