Answers:
Since you have braces, flossing is obviously a problem and you might have developed gingivitis, as they mentioned above.. It's basically a bacterial infection in your gums because there's nothing (like floss) to physically remove it..

Instead, you should get a WaterPik (or another dental irrigator) to take the place of dental floss.. It's a small jet of water like a tiny garden hose that will rinse the spaces at the base of your teeth and between them, and the WaterPik comes with a brush attachment specifically for use with braces..

In the meantime, try an Aspirin and salt-water rinses to kill some bacteria and reduce the inflammation..Health Question & Answer

its because your gums are irritated from the gunk and germs inbetween your teeth when you dont floss


Try flossing daily, and rinsing with a mouthwash, preferilby one without alcohol..

And inbetween brushing, try rinsing your mouth with warm salt water to stop the bleeding and stop the swelling..Health Question & Answer
