Title: Is flossing good for your general health?
Post by: thedoc on 23/03/2016 16:47:33

Here's my question: do people who floss their teeth really live longer? And, if it's true, is it because there is a real connection between the health of our teeth and our body's health or is it just that people who floss tend to take better care of their entire body? Is this somehow connected to the health of our microbiome?
