Some people just don’t get cavities very easily. You are extrapolating from that.
Floss. For the love of God, floss. People carry around chronic gum infections in between teeth. Ask me how I know.
- altdataseller 4y agoHow do you know?
- AuthorizedCust 4y agoExcept the evidence on flossing isn’t strongly in its favor: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tossing-flossing-2016081710196 https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tossing-flossing-2016081...
- Oddskar 4y agoOf course anecdotal evidence, but I solved the recurring inflammation issues I had by having a routine that includes flossing an interdental brushes. At a certain point you know where your "problem areas" are and where food tend to get stuck.
- toxik 4y agoSame thing here, I think this is really common and the “lack of evidence” as the article tries to frame it is just because it’s so obvious. There is also a lack of peer reviewed studies showing that you can drown in water but that doesn’t mean it isn’t true.
- ramraj07 4y agoWhat evidence do you have to support flossing being effective in people who have never flossed in their life (such population exists?) who also brush well..
