My dental health is very good approaching 78, thanks to grape seed extract, coconut oil toothpaste (make my own) and flossing. No dentist visit in about 5 yrs.
I saw that study on flossing, don't buy it.
I take care of all my health and it's GREAT to not be a slave to docs and dentists.
My big mess is a lot of complications from a hip replacement.
Flossing gets those little cavity making pieces out that are stuck between the teeth. I floss twice a day, feels good after brush/floss time.
Sometime these articles do more damage than good.
You gotta be kidding me????? If you want to KEEP your teeth, brush and floss after every meal. Gads! No wonder I don't go on dates or have a boyfriend at my age. Gads !!!

I'm in the "I do it but I don't particularly like to" group. My dental hygienist said using a water pic with 1/4 strength listerine would work as long as I do it at least daily. So now I still floss with those plastic 'floss-picks' you get at CVS and water pic at bed time.
I floss every day, my mouth would be gross if I didn't.
The "studies" that indicated flossing doesn't do any good were beyond flawed....one of them only lasted one day, some of them only lasted 2 weeks, plus the patients didn't necessarily know HOW to floss correctly, etc. The whole thing was bogus and ridiculous.
I've tried, but my teeth are really jammed tight together, so its very hard to do, especially with big fingers.
This is what I use for the same problem, works great... I get mine at either Target or Walgreens.
