Flossing is bullshit

My dentists for the past 20-30 years have given me a litany of reasons to floss daily: to remove debris between the teeth, to strengthen gums, and to combat gingivitis. When I go in for a checkup, my dentist can tell with just a few pokes whether my gums are healthy or not, and that’s directly related to how often I remembered to floss.

The new floss picks (including the ones hawked by BoingBoing!) do an even better job. Maybe Cory should check with Mark about their effectiveness?
