If I flossed before, it would be a very dirty floss and I would feel compelled to floss again after brushing. My 2 cents. |

Date: February 13th, 2020 12:49 AM Author: kink-friendly dashing stage "Flossing plus toothbrushing showed a statistically significant benefit compared to toothbrushing in reducing gingivitis at the three time points studied, the SMD being ‐0.36 (95% CI ‐0.66 to ‐0.05) at 1 month, SMD ‐0.41 (95% CI ‐0.68 to ‐0.14) at 3 months and SMD ‐0.72 (95% CI ‐1.09 to ‐0.35) at 6 months. The 1‐month estimate translates to a 0.13 point reduction on a 0 to 3 point scale for Loe‐Silness gingivitis index, and the 3 and 6 month results translate to 0.20 and 0.09 reductions on the same scale.
Overall there is weak, very unreliable evidence which suggests that flossing plus toothbrushing may be associated with a small reduction in plaque at 1 or 3 months.
None of the included trials reported data for the outcomes of caries, calculus, clinical attachment loss, or quality of life. There was some inconsistent reporting of adverse effects." |

Shows you how many retards are posting here.
They think a full-on brush won't "loosen up" the plaque but a little string will. If that were the case, why not just floss and rinse and never brush?
Flossing is to get where the brush can't.

|
Date: February 14th, 2020 8:30 PM Author: Crusty insecure ticket booth The difference is that the brush will get rid of the superficial shit first, then the floss will get to the hidden/stuck stuff.
It probably doesn't make as huge a difference as everyone claims here. When you clean your kitchen, do you first work on the dirt that is stuck or do you clean everything and at the end work on the worst shit? Will it make a difference at the end? It won't. The kitchen will still be clean.
I don't like the idea of flossing a dirty mouth because i feel it will contaminate the rest of the mouth. I rinse first, brush, once semi-clean, I take out the stuff that is stuck now that is not completely gross, then I rinse off any remains. Feels cleaner to me, but to each their own. |
