Flossing does shit for your teeth, save your money.

[Hoser]

Now the secret is out. Flossing is a waste of time. Despite decades of advice from the entire dental and public-health establishment, there’s not a shred of scientific evidence that it cuts down on tooth scum or prevents gum disease and cavities. I scarcely know whether to be relieved or outraged – relieved because I’m off the hook, or outraged because they’ve bullied and shamed us for so long, and for nothing.

• Figures show that less than a fifth of us actually bother to do it regularly
  [*]And of those who do, most of us are doing it incorrectly, says dentist
  [*]Bad technique can push bacteria and plaque further into the gums
  [*]This can increase the risk of gum disease and cause painful damage

One article (or even a few) is not enough to jump to the conclusion...flossing has been shown to remove food particles and plaque buildup between teeth, which can lead to gum disease, gingivitis, and cavities.
