Answers:
Continue flossing! Blood means that your gums are unhealthy! If you brush (in circles) 2 x per day and floss atleast once....eventually your gums will shrink and become healthy!
That is your goal! Floss til there is no blood! This is a sign that your gums are healthy! :)
It may hurt for a few days, but it will get better! Health Question & Answer

You have to do this a little more regular for your gums to get use to it. I didn't have the habit of flossing initially. Till i went to the dentist and was told that my gums were really weak and had been bleeding during his checks. He told me to floss my teeth every night. 1st week was horrible. all i can get on the string was blood. thereafter, the bleeding stops. Health Question & Answer
this is supposed to happen - nothing is wrong with your teeth. the bleeding will stop soon, maybe a week or so. continue flossing! =]Health Question & Answer
