I am a dental hygieinst and you need to get to your dentist ASAP you have the begining stages of gum disease.
you need to contine to floss even if you see blood. The bleeding means you need floss more. You have an infection. that is what the bleeding is all about. if you don't get this treated you can lose your teeth.
until you get to the dentist, floss everyday and rinse with listerne. Brush 2x day. hope this helps
