Properly cleaning teeth and flossing TW

Man lots of blood when flossing.

Well it was when I started a couple of weeks ago. Is a lot less now. Was pretty scary at first though

I use floss picks and it really helps its almost better than brushing, flossing itself…but best to do both

Yeah. Funny you should say that. I remember you mentioning floss picks a few weeks ago. So I went out and got some.

They are really good! I still have regular floss for the back teeth as I can’t get the picks into them.

I love flossing. I have a hard time with brushing often enough, especially with staying home all the time. But when I get bored or anxious I tend to floss my teeth. Kind if a weird nervous habit, but better than biting my nails! Lol

My understanding is that bleeding gums is a sign of infection. Looks as though your mouth is healing.

I just brush. I should floss too but eh. My GF flosses and uses little plastic toothpick thingies.

I also bled a lot in the beginning. Just keep doing it! It’s worth the time it takes. I had to remove a tooth now because of an infection in a nerve, which could possibly have been avoided had I started flossing earlier and gone to the dentist regularly.
