Might help. For now reduce the frequency of flossing and use the toothpaste.  Before long you should be able to floss away as much as you want with minimal irritation.  Also try not to rub the gums while flossing.  My take. Good luck.<\/div>\n<\/div>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Jeanette Q.
