Comment on Ask HN: What is the best piece of advice someone has told you?parent

Comments

Well either you have an abnormally healthy oral flora or a really bad dentist.

Usually the advice is to floss everyday to get rid of carbohydrates in your interdental space which can be a breeding ground for bacteria which will eventuall chip away your tooth enamel leading to eventual tooth decay (if I recite correctly).

Also less mouth odor.

I've changed dentists in the last year (due to location) and no new issues identified.

Never had an issue with mouth odor.

I imagine most people don't floss every day.
