I floss a few times a week and the smell can be just awful, like rotting meat was stuck in there. So I will continue flossing, brushing my teeth, and rinsing with mouthwash, despite the evidence. After 10 years of this and finally going to the dentist... although there was some plaque buildup and some gum inflammation, as the dentist claimed that these were harder things to remove over time and required dental tools, she did let me know that I had no cavities.
