Once again generalizations are generally true.
Exceptions to generalizations do not make the generalization untrue.
Flossing is a good thing for anyone with natural teeth.
It removes plaque that would build up under the gums where brushes can't reach.
Over decades the plaque converts to yuckies that result in the gums pulling away from the teeth so the teeth fall out.
I'll bet next someone is going to post, "Oh Yeah? Well if you don't floss right then it won't work" ... as if that's an argument that we should not bother encouraging people to floss.
Whatever.
