Dentist: "Do you floss daily?"
Me: "Do you backup your data daily?"

@fribbledom Dentist: "No, but my teeth won't rot if I don't do a backup."

(BTW I agree that flossing daily is too often.)

@underlap @fribbledom Wait what?? Isn't the usual recommendation to floss 3x per day? (That's my dendists recommendation and that's what I've learned as a kid.) I mean I barely get to 2x per day, but... not even once?
Should you floss or not? Study says benefits unproven

An investigation into flossing finds years of dental recommendations are backed up by "unreliable" research, so should you floss or not?

@underlap
Studies say a bunch of stuff; I have empirical experience that people who do floss have better teeth, and I'm one of those who doesn't do it...
