This is one of few memes i really dislike. It is true, if you floss or use interdental brushes your guild wont bleed.
It’s such an easy thing you can test for yourself I’m kind of surprised so many people don’t understand that it works. Do you also ignore the advice you get from doctors?
Last time I went to dentist, at first everything was okay and I even got compliments on how clean my mouth was. Then I got stabbed by a needle to a gum and then yelled at for not flossing. Later on the dentist found the stabbing wound she did and apologised, yet kept on telling me to just go deeper with the floss, that there must be a hidden infection deeper down and I should not care about pain or floss cuts. Bad, bad advice.
I didn’t change shit. My gums don’t bleed UNLESS THEY GET STABBED.
lol that is lawsuit waiting to happened, if that had caused a abscessed blood infection. i wouldnt be surprised if thier yelp reviews had something similar on it from other patients.
No Yelps here, just the public dentist at my local health center, and the only one at that. I can’t afford to go private yay. (Not free, definitely not free this one either.)

80% of US doctors don’t know basic anatomy (a statistic i derived from the medical CPEs i taught), so yes I generally do ignore advice they give
