Okay, I think the reasoning behind flossing is to break up food bits and plaque that forms btw teeth so that disease doesn't develop, and in general teeth are healthier. My question is, does using antiseptics like Listerine do the same thing to the same degree? I'm having a debate with my father about whether he can forego flossing in place of swishing.
