I had poor oral hygiene in my 20's. I didn't floss. And it became a problem by my late 20's- I had to have a root canal, another tooth needed a crown. Now, I'm almost 40 years old and I've rarely gone to the dentist over the last 5 because I floss and use a dental pick so thoroughly, I do not require much cleaning when I do go and I obviously have no cavities.

So, I am extemely skeptical of any claim that flossing doesn't work. Of course, you have to flossing properly and I actually remove far more food from my teeth with a pick-- I use those disposable flossing with floss on one end and a pick on thr other.
