> afaik studies find very little to no benefits to flossing.

My gut reaction to that statement was incredulity, but the intro to the wiki article for flossing confirms it:

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dental_floss

> ...empirical scientific evidence demonstrating the clinical benefit of flossing as an adjunct to routine tooth brushing alone remains limited.

Who knew?! I'm not going to stop flossing though. I didn't always and I believe it had a very positive impact on my gum health in particular. I always get high marks from the dental hygienist.
