Impacted Debris: You may have impacted some debris between your teeth if you flossed incorrectly and "snapped" the floss down between your teeth. Try to gently remove any debris... if you can't your dentist may have to get in there with a scaler to remove anything that is caught.

See your dentist: Your dentist helps keep your smile healthy with regular professional cleanings. Is it common to experience bleeding gums and pressure when flossing aggressively.
