At a recent dentist’s appointment, they told me that sensitive gums are a sign of bacteria buildup at the gum line, and as you continue to floss, the sensitivity, redness and bleeding will decrease. If the sensitivity doesn’t reduce, perhaps be more aware of how hard you’re brushing your teeth? Brushing hard against your gums can also cause gum sensitivity. As for the type of floss I use, I use just a regular thin minty wax floss, plus threaders to get inbetween my permanent wire retainers. Hope this was helpful 😊

- So I put flossing on my list because I tend to forget to floss the most, and not only that but when creating a routine, a habitual routine at that – then it must entail creating a list of healthy habits that you are not used to doing every single day. Like I said I forget to floss alot so does any one else put flossing in their morning routine? (also I’m new at this app so please let me know if I’am using it incorrectly.) I have to ask because I got a sarcastic shithead asking me if I carry floss around in my bag-that kind of crap please keep to yourself.
