Flossing Can Damage Gums
Flossing once daily is the accepted norm but equally important is the manner in which you floss. Before starting, or recommencing, to floss it is prudent to ask your dentist for tips and advice on how to floss correctly.
Gentle pressure is all that is required to remove food particles and plaque from the teeth but many make the mistake of using too much force. This can be harmful as it may cause:
– Cut, bleeding or sore gums
– Receded gums
– Damage to tooth enamel
Similarly, flossing too often “increases the chances that you are hurting your teeth and gums” and further information on flossing correctly can be found at https://yourdentalhealthresource.com/can-you-be-too-aggressive-with-your-flossing/
