My dentist recommended pulling my wisdom teeth over 40 years ago. I still have them, and they are the healthiest teeth in my mouth. (I switched to another dentist.)

Another time the dentist wanted to put in a crown, I had him do a filling instead.

And so on. One needs to be a participant, not just do whatever the dentist says.

It's quite clear, though, that flossing fixes the obvious inflammation of the gums. At least in my mouth, it does.
