I’ve started flossing more times than I can count. You’re RIGHT on the cusp of it stopping hurting.
Some tips:
— you don’t need to floss twice a day.
— you shouldn’t be using a ton of force, but just do a quick swipe on each surface of the tooth under the gumline.
— if you’re still bleeding heavily after 2 weeks consistently (like, mostly red spit after floasing rather than just having a little pink tint to the mostly clear spit), you may have a gum issue that needs a dentist to look into or prescribe a special toothpaste for.
— try the “Plackers” brand of toothpick sticks.
