Flossing Question...?!
Question:
Flossing Question...?
Okay ...this is going to sound terrible but I just recently started to floss. I know, but at least I'm flossing now. My question is when I floss my gums kind of bleed and it smells a little bit is that normal?
Answers:
You probably have periodontal disease. Not sure which stage, but when is the last time you had your teeth cleaned? Might want to look into that if it has been a while. You can actually become sick from not getting it done regularly. Continue to brush and floss and rinse with warm salt water after wards 3 times a day to help with the gums.
Quackpot is definitely a quack... DO NOT use thread to floss with. Dental Floss has a wax on it which is necessary to floss correctly with. Rubbing alcohol should never be ingested, it is not used for those purposes.
