Interesting. Of course it ends off "regardless, Americans should still floss"

That's the floss industry.

How the hell can it not be beneficial?
Simple. Ime flossing removes very little. If anything at all.

I'm not talking about a situation when there is actual food stuck.

I dunno - even brushing well, even with an electric toothbrush, I get a significant amount of gunk out when I floss.

That's it. I'm done with flossing.

http://abcnews.go.com/Technology/wireStory/medical-benefits-dental-floss-unproven-41058449

I wouldn't take dental advice from someone who has 5 cavities  ;D

All this article says is that there aren't enough studies proving flossing helps. This does not mean flossing doesn't help. Most dentists can give anecdotal evidence and that should be enough to maintain the status quo until  someone proves flossing can cause harm.

Looking for a good dentist (NY/NJ) that will try to save a cracked tooth that may need root canal treatment as well.
Please advise if you had a positive experience using a dentist with this kind of issue.

Thank you!

Funny/Sad Story.

Went for a checkup at a dentist. Told me have to come back another time as I have 2 cavities. And couldn't do it on the spot. Came back few days later, was 15 minutes late, was told sorry, you're too late, can't be seen. I tried debating, nothing helped. So I reluctantly rebooked...   Came back, dentist filled 1 cavity, said doesn't have time for second one. So I made yet another appt..... Later that day, 3 hours later to  be exact, bit into a banana (a relatively soft food), guess what? The filling came out!! So decided not going back to that dentist.. And made an appt at diff dentist and made sure both cavities would be filled same day, and they said yes ofc it will be same day.  I come there, dentist is looking at my teeth and I show him my two cavities... Doesn't see how it's cavities. Tells me to call other dentist to email the X-rays.. Did so, looks at the x rays, still sees nothing. So he takes his own x rays, still sees nothing. His son who is also a dentist in same practice looks at my teeth, still sees nothing.!!!

Can't get over this.
