A little gum bleeding can happen after a lapse in flossing, but recurring bleeding with swelling, recession, bad breath, loose teeth, or chewing pain should be checked.
A small amount of blood on floss can happen after a gap in cleaning, but it should start improving quickly. Learn when home care is reasonable, when bleeding should be booked for a dental exam, and how to keep cleaning between teeth gently while you wait.
