I’ve wondered the same about water flossers vs string—honestly, I’m not convinced they get all the gunk out, but my gums do bleed less now. Anyone else notice water flossers are kind of pricey compared to regular floss? As for spicy food, I get that lingering soreness too, but only if my gums are already irritated. Maybe it’s about timing more than cutting stuff out altogether?

I feel the same way about water flossers. I use one because my hands aren’t steady with string anymore, but I still worry it’s missing spots. It does seem to help with bleeding though, like you said. The price is a bit much, but if it keeps things from getting worse, maybe it’s worth it. Spicy food makes my gums sting too, especially after a rough brushing day... Timing really does seem to matter.

That’s the worst, right? I always seem to crave salsa on the days my gums are already mad at me. Have you tried switching toothpaste brands? Some seem way harsher than others for me.
