Flossing too enthusiastically can lead to gum disease, receding gums or cavities. It is much better for your oral health to floss gently:

- Floss gently, to avoid wearing away your protective tooth enamel and making your gums bleed.
- If you think you might by flossing too hard or bleed every time you floss, speak to your dentist and they can advise accordingly.
