I've been flossing regularly for a while now, but my gums still bleed sometimes and it's kinda frustrating. Maybe I'm doing it wrong or something... anyone got tips or tricks that actually helped them improve gum health?
Bleeding gums can be super frustrating, especially when you're already flossing regularly. Quick question—how hard are you flossing? I used to have the same issue and realized I was being way too aggressive, thinking it'd clean better. Turns out, gentler is actually way better for gum health. Also, have you tried switching to a softer floss or those interdental brushes? I started using those tiny brushes between my teeth and noticed a huge improvement within a couple weeks.
Another thing—mouthwash helped me a ton. Not the harsh alcohol-based ones, but something gentle and antibacterial. My dentist recommended one with chlorhexidine for short-term use (like a week or two), and it really calmed down the inflammation.
If none of that helps, might be worth checking with your dentist to rule out gingivitis or something else going on. Hope you find something that works soon...bleeding gums are no fun at all.
