Healthy gums don’t bleed, and are not painful to floss at all.
I’m in my 30s and only recently learned flossing technique and got my gums healthy. Flossing used to take so long and always involved a lot of bleeding no matter how delicate I was.
These days I’m absolute savage with floss and interdental brushes and never have any blood or pain.
Once you get your gums healthy you’ll be disgusted at yourself for ever not flossing. The amount of disgusting I can floss out on an almost daily basis is insane.
Plus you’re breath will not smell gross anymore.
It’s worth committing to the habit of flossing. Trust me.
I have never flossed regularly in my life because I can’t stand sticking my hands in my mouth.
My dental hygienist says I do an amazing job at flossing.
I use a water pik.
If I may ask, which water pik do you use?
I have the “waterpik water flosser” for myself, I’ve purchased the generic units off Amazon for friends and they seem to work just as well.
My dentist also told me I do a great job at flossing. I’ve never flossed or used a water pik in my life. I just nodded and quietly said “uh thanks”.
I’ve always hated flossing but the water pik is great… as long as the water is room temp. Horrendous when you accidentally fill it with cold water
