    Now thats not fair, if you dont floss you expect everyone else also not to floss?

    I cant say about dentist worldwide but all dentist that I know off (thats a good decent number atleast in Pakistan) do floss on a regular basis 😉 so do you floss?

    Its like washing your hands before you eat as we all know they can be dirty then usually as a matter of habit one does prefer to wash their hands, if you do it every day is not the question but you atleast do it more often…..
