Flossing is an effective way of keeping your teeth clean and free from bacteria. However, it is possible to hurt your gums and teeth with vigorous flossing. Here are signs you are flossing too aggressively.
Main takeaways:
- You floss too many times in a day which hurts your gumline and exposes your roots.
- You let the floss press too hard on your gumline, resulting in bleeding.
- Digging underneath your gumline with the floss.
Ask your dentist how to floss properly during your next checkup and floss gently at least once daily.
