AM I FLOSSING CORRECTLY? WHY IS THERE BLEEDING?
Here is a short, accurate demonstration of how to effectively floss your teeth. You should aim to floss 1x daily (I find the best time is before brushing at night time, when you're not in a rush like in the morning) before brushing your teeth.

The one thing I want everyone to know is we need to glide the floss into the gum slightly to clean out this space underneath the gums! This is a crucial step to ensure you're removing the ... plaque and bacteria from around your gums.
You may experience some bleeding when you first correct your flossing technique, this is caused by the plaque which infects the surrounding gums making them inflammed and causing them to bleed easily. Don't be alarmed, continue to floss and clear the plaque to improve the health of the gums and stop the bleeding. yellow colored items to wear of the wedding
