Question about pain while flossing?!
Question: I flossed my teeth and when I moved to the back where the bigger teeth where, I flossed there and experienced some pretty bad pain. Could it be a cavity? The tooth itself doesnt hurt, just the space between it!

THIS MAY BE BECAUSE YOU'RE USING A LENGTH THAT'S TOO LONG AND SNAPPING IN THE FLOSS. THIS CAUSES PAIN AND TRAUMA TO THE GUMS. USE A SHORTER LENGTH AND EASE IT IN.
you could have pretty weak gums...you migh want to go see a dentist
if you don't floss much it could be gingivitis, which goes away with regular brushing and flossing. Listerene is good too, especially since back teeth are hard to get to.
Maybe ur not used to flossing just keep on doing it and brush everyday and it should go away in no time
