Except the evidence on flossing isn’t strongly in its favor: https://www.health.harvard.edu/blog/tossing-flossing-2016081...

Of 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.

Same 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.

What 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..

How do you know?
