Flossing adds 4 years to your life?

Question: Flossing adds 4 years to your life!?

I talked to a scientist who told me that flossing adds 4 years to your life on average because it cleans bacteria that would otherwise enter your blood stream!.

Okay I know he was a scientist, but does anyone have any legit proof of this, or prior knowledge!?Www@QuestionHome@Com

weird for a scientist to make such a generalization but its probably true to an extent, if you want proof look up journal articles at a university library/website!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

not true!. No way the bacteria would kill you 4 years earlier!. But you might get a cold more often if you don't floss!.Www@QuestionHome@Com

There is no way, so say you get dentures at a young age, are you then buying yourself 4 years!? I think not my friend!.Www@QuestionHome@Com
