Thanks. This is a good point, which I agree on.
But in general, interdental flossing is very good against contact cavities [1]. Perhaps deep flossing is leading to bacteraemia. I have always found hard and awkward to perform deep flossing, and that's why I use oral irrigators instead. However, maybe irrigation also leads to bacteraemia. I've seen some references supporting that too.
