Flossing is as important as brushing , 2 things can happen from lack of it . One is interproximal caries ... the other one it attacks your gums and bone , many times especially on the 3rd molars ( wisdom tooth ) if they are somehow impacted they create a food trap which can potentially turn into a periodontitis and a nasty ass infection .
Now think about it for second ... there is no way a tooth brush can get in between your teeth so if you are a person doesn't floss you probaby got junk stuck in there from a chicken you ate in 1992.
This gathers up colonies of bacteria which in turn a migration of inflamatory cells takes place that will cause the gum to swell and then to recede . Gum recesion exposes the root of your tooth which will cause sensitity to cold or hot foods , drinks etc.
Also try not to floss too hard because flossing too hard causes gum recession .
A little off topic from flossing but this stuff really works for me, helps strengthen teeth. I don't think you need a Rx from a Dentist but you might, You can get it at any local pharmacy. I smoke a lot and my teeth were thinning a bit and this really helped.
