I know when I don't floss my mouth tastes and smells terrible and that I quickly develop tartar, I don't need a peer reviewed study to know that what I'm tasting is bacteria multiplying in my mouth.
I think the term for your way of thinking is scientism? If you can't even make conclusions for yourself based on simple experimentation or observation and need to rely on studies for everything you are going to live a terrible life.

- friedman23 5y agoOh, and the OP doesn't even have research that flossing doesn't work. He just has people dropping the flossing recommendation because of lack of research. OP probably uses this stupidity to justify being completely unhygienic.

- 83457 5y agoMy dad's dentist had a picture on the wall that said "You only have to floss between the teeth you want to keep". When I floss after not doing so for a long time I get a whiff and taste of decaying matter. It is disgusting. Good enough evidence for me, though I still don't floss often :(
