A writer has recommended flossing to people who want to succeed in an emergency dentistry prevention regime.
In an article for the Daily Weston, Amanda Geffner said she started flossing religiously after getting fed up of being told she had plaque or even cavities by her dentist.
She revealed that this has now paid off after being told by her hygienist that she has "excellent" homecare and did not need any treatment during her last visit.
After revelling in her "warm sense of wellbeing and accomplishment", Ms Geffner said she now intends to stick to flossing because she knows it works.
"I had my flaw-free teeth to show for it and Lord knows, the bicuspid never lies," she added.
Reader's Digest recently explained that flossing can not only get rid of food particles that toothbrushes cannot shift, but it can protect against heart disease, strokes and other serious problems by removing bacteria from the mouth.
