  That’s a self reported study and doesn’t control for the effectiveness of flossing. It’s generally accepted if you are flossing then generally you brush more often and more completely and in overall better mental and physical health than if you aren’t flossing because if you take the time to floss you are paying attention to your body. But controlled studies haven’t found floss to be effective as mouth rinses and brushing.
