Flossing problems

2019-06-07 12:26:54
Hi! Although late, I started flossing my teeth yesterday. Specially between the crowns on my molars. A little blood was oozing out from one of my molars(the one which has cap) but it stopped within seconds. Is this something serious?

Use floss only if u have crowns (rct treated and cap is done) Brush properly instead of flossing. Flossing will become habit. So for healthy gums massage them daily with gum paint. Floss only when required. Brush 2 Times a day.
Next Steps
Review after some days

Hello Flossing regularly is a good practice, and when u have had crowns it  will help u maintain yout crowns as well as your teeth for long term... So basically flossing helps cleaning between your teeth.. if hygiene not maintained gums will get inflamed leading to bleeding..hence it's normal for gums to bleed if not hygienically maintained
Next Steps
floss regularly apart from  brushing twice daily
Health Tips
Every six month visit to your dentist will give u a better oral hygiene
