    You have gum disease. Take better care of your mouth.

      Actually, there's nothing wrong with my mouth. Aside from the whole gums bleeding during flossing thing. I don't have gum disease, gingivitis, cavities, plaque, none of that.

        Are you sure? You should talk to a dentist about it.

    Do you press down hard when you floss?

    I get the same issue. Maybe you have deep pockets.

    I don't know if it's normal or not but sometimes if I brush my teeth too hard, pick around with a toothpick too much or floss sometimes my gums will bleed. I don't know whether it's just sensitivity or an oral illness.

    That can be caused by a plaque build up between your teeth, you should go to the dentist and get them cleaned properly.
