>Even FLOSSING was removed from the U.S. Department of Health's recommendations several years ago because there is a lack of evidence that it's effective!
I think that whether flossing is useful or not is highly dependent on the space between your teeth. I have small gaps between my teeth, and I floss three times a day. I can see the food come off on the floss. My father never flosses (jus brushes0, and never has any problems with his teeth, but he has large gaps between his teeth. Presumably, the bits of food just fall out.
A lack of evidence of course is not the same as no evidence.
