If you don't floss, I can promise you that your breath smells. Maybe not bad, but people notice it if you're in close quarters.

- matsemann 4y agoHave you done a scientific review, or just talking out of your ass?
- skyyler 4y agoYou need a scientific study to know that rotting food smells bad? Sure: > Our study confirmed that use of dental floss was associated with lower odds of having oral malodor after controlling for other factors. This agrees with the findings reported recently by AlSadhan [15] who demonstrated statistically significant relationship between self-reported halitosis and use of dental floss. Faveri et al.[32] evaluated the effect of interdental flossing on oral malodor and found that there was a significantly lower concentration of sulfur compounds after using dental floss. https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5727733/ https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pmc/articles/PMC5727733/
- matsemann 4y ago> You need a scientific study to know that rotting food smells bad? Stop behaving like a jerk, please. Be better than that here on HN. That's just a straw man. If you remove all food by normal brushing (which most scientific evidence points towards), your argument doesn't even make sense. As there is no food left.
- skyyler 4y agoExcuse me? I'm being a jerk? I guess we can just leave it there then. Have a nice day :)
- krageon 4y agoTalking out of their ass. It is a simple fact of life some folks never floss and basically don't brush while smelling equally minty to folks that floss and brush twice per day. The easiest way to figure out this is true is thinking about how few people floss (you can ask your dentist, most people don't) and how many people have bad smelling breath (easy to smell when you're in public transport).
