Is there actual data that shows flossing or going to the hygienist prevents more serious problems? I am sure most dentists insist there is but do they insist it to their family/friends (i.e. People they don't expect to be paid from).
Sounds like a placebo effect and marketing ploy. Some people get problems depending on the genetics, diet, eating habits, tobacco etc and some people don't. Know of people almost 70 yrs old who haven't done more than brush their teeth once a day and haven't had any teeth issues whatsoever.
