I am sure by now, you might have heard about an article from the NYT on how flossing is overrated and doesn't help with maintaining the health of your teeth (click here for the article).  I strongly disagree.  Flossing with prevent gingivitis, which could lead to periodontitis (i.e bone loss).  Flossing is one of the least expensive dental treatment.  All I can say is that if you don't floss, you will end up spending more on maintaining your teeth than if you do floss.  Here are some links to articles, stating that flossing is helpful in maintaining dental health (https://www.perio.org/consumer/AAP-recommends-flossing-as-essential & https://www.perio.org/consumer/AAP-recommends-flossing).  If you're still not convinced and don't want to listen to dental professionals, you might want to listen to Steve Harvey, a comedian  ( click here to see the video).
