My gums bleed after flossing. should i continue to floss even if i keep bleeding?

Yes: Your gums will bleed after flossing for two reasons; 1, your flossing to hard and cutting your gum tissue or 2, your gums are inflamed and need to be treated by your dentist.

Don't stop now...: When most people start flossing their gums may bleed. After a week or two of regular flossing it usually stops. If it doesn't it could be your technique. Or there may be a gum or medical problem. See how you do and if need be go back to your dentist or your md.

Continue flossing but see your Dentist to evaluate the condition of your gums, diagnose and treat the problem.
