You Need to Let Us Know if Flossing Starts to Hurt

Posted on 5/25/2019 by Crossroads Family Dental

When you floss your teeth, your gums should not hurt when you do so. There are many reasons for this to happen, but a few are more common than others.

If you find that flossing is something that is hurting you, or that it is unbearably painful, which is a bad sign, make sure to give our office a call. Flossing shouldn't be painful what so ever and if you're having a difficult time doing it without pain, we should take a look to see what is happening.

When Flossing Hurts

When flossing starts to hurt, then it might be time to think about some of the things that might be causing this to happen. Flossing is something that is important for oral health, so you should be able to regularly do this in order to have a healthy overall mouth.

The way you're flossing might be the problem. Having bad form while lifting weights is like having bad form while flossing. They're both going to end up doing more harm than good. Another reason is that you do not brush and floss often enough. Usually, when you start to regularly brush twice a day and floss at least once a day, you will not have pain or other issues that might come from not doing this.

Contact Us Today and Let Us Help You Floss

If you need to have a cleaning or exam, give our office a call. Our professionals can not only take a look and let you know what exactly is going on inside your mouth, but we can recommend the best practices to help you get a cleaner, better smile overall. Make sure to smile once you have your flossing and brushing under control. You want the best smile and we can help you make that happen with some simple tips and tricks.
