Flossing and Bleeding Gums: What's Normal and When to Worry

It is normal to see a small amount of blood when you first start flossing, especially if you have not been flossing regularly. This is because your gums may be inflamed and bleeding easily. However, if you continue to see blood on your floss after a few days of flossing, you should talk to your dentist. It could be a sign of a more serious problem, such as gum disease.
