Lots of USA specific views in here. How about:
Most patients, even if they bother to get the minty-waxed out the box, are exceptionally heavy-handed and macerate their gums like they’ve been chewing on bare vacuum cleaner flex. Even in controlled studies, after instruction, the patients taking part couldn’t floss properly. I know of no dentist who flosses. Not one.

- codeulike 10y agoThis is an interesting thread to read and think about rationalisations, habits and culture. You have a good control group too: Floss usage is about 60%+ in the USA, and 20% or less in Europe.
