Reading this French article makes it sound like flossing has no effect on preventing cavities. It's mentioned that some of the studies have been paid for by the flossing industry. They mention that the NHS doesn't have a recommendation to floss in Britain, and neither is there one in France.

Who are the filthy ones on here who don't floss regularly? Also, if youre gonna argue that flossing doesn't work, France and Britain are some pretty bad examples for good teeth. :ugh:

Apparently few countries use floss as much as the US. Can anyone confirm?

British people's teeth are fine, they're just not obsessed with artificially whitening their teeth to make them look like paper for no reason.

I don't know if flossing is necessary or not but it wouldn't surprise me at all if there are people who want me to think that it's more important than it actually is.

My teeth just feel cleaner afterwards, so Ill keep flossing. The last pack I bought was like $6 and lasts me a couple months, so it aint like theyre getting rich off me.

Cleaning of teeth is already an annoying thing to have to do, I'm not adding to it. My dentist did mention I probably should start flossing, but what the FUCK would he know?

I floss semi-regularly now, but there was once where I went into an appointment and I had not flossed at all in the six months since my last appointment except for the previous night, and the dentist complimented me because he said he could tell that I floss regularly. I'm not saying that all dentists are hacks, or even that that particular dentist is a hack, but sometimes they are just straight-up wrong.

I go to the dentist regularly, there's nothing wrong with my teeth and I was never told to floss by any dentist.

I wash my teeth every night, that's enough. Never had a cavity, breath smells good, teeth and gums are in good condition.
	Not the worst but definitely on the shittier side.
