Every Sunday: the week’s new conflicts and verdict changes — and nothing else.
Native comments, Twitter mentions, and Reddit threads about this claim — surfaced together so the conversation isn't fragmented across platforms.

Would love a "what would change this verdict" RSS feed. Sign me up if it exists.
that's usually how we recommend actually i ask them you brush your floss and your brush again if you want to be perfect because when you brush you remove all the biofilm of the bacteria and your surface you have your teeth and you need to rinse your mouth well to just get all everything out and then you floss but imagine if you floss and then you throw in all that bacteria back in the other cavity they might populate and recolonize again so that's why i say you just brush your floss we either rinse your mouth really well after that or you just quick brush again
