Yes. People might balk at your Vox link, but I'd advise anyone to look into it themselves. There's little good research about flossing: http://skeptics.stackexchange.com/a/9611

My personal belief is that flossing does something since you can clearly see food bits or whatever on used floss, but that's different from believing those food bits wouldn't be removed by normal brushing anyway or that they even cause harm.

Anecdata of course but my dentist always seems to remove little food bits flossing during a checkup that weren't removed in brushing just before.

After the last checkup he recommended an automatic flossing machine (Waterpik).
