"People who smoke cigarettes, they say:

“You don’t know how hard it is to quit smoking.”

Yes, I do. It’s as hard as it is to start flossing." - Mitch Hedberg

    Yeah, I personally floss as well, I was just quoting the paper that the previous person linked to refute his claim that flossing sucks. And I anecdotally agree with your points as well, would be nice to see if there are any publications that support them though.

      Hell, I don’t even trust a single study anymore… This one was done in India under the pressures of not having enough dentists to cover their massive population.

      The actual point behind it might be if you’re not going to floss, definitely mouthwash
