Expert: flossing
"The world woke to the smell of burning floss last week, as thunderous applause met聽聽that there was, after all, no evidence for dentists recommending flossing. A lot of people, it seems, hate to floss..听But don鈥檛 throw out all those spools of waxed dental tape just yet." ()
Omid Kiarash, Faculty of Dentistry, 平特五不中
"Just like we don鈥檛 have high quality聽evidence that jumping out of an airplane without a parachute is highly likely to be聽fatal. The bottom line is that a lack of high quality evidence, is simply a lack of high聽quality evidence and nothing more. It does not negate the effectiveness of flossing."-Omid Kiarash
