To floss or not to floss

To floss or not to floss : That is the question! What happened? I have a patient who is very aware and well informed. I found out that she had stopped flossing. She reported that she has read news reports in blogs and news network websites, based on the latest evidence, that floss is a waste of time and it does not really work. She quoted from the likes of New York Times, the Guardian, the Daily Mail; which she looked up online and showed me on her phone during the appointment.
