- BigThrowaway88 10y agoThe benefits of flossing are not backed by data. Seems it too is a myth manufactured by industry: The FDA had to remove the recommendation from daily hygiene guidelines, as law requires them to be backed by legit science. That said, I still do it. Makes my mouth "feel" cleaner". http://bigstory.ap.org/article/f7e66079d9ba4b4985d7af350619a9e3/medical-benefits-dental-floss-unproven http://bigstory.ap.org/article/f7e66079d9ba4b4985d7af350619a...
- switch007 10y agoThe cited references studied cavities, plaque, gingivitis and gum disease. I see two other benefits in flossing: combating halitosis and comfort (meat stuck between molars for me is extremely irritating).
