Is it normal for your teeth to feel sensitive from flossing?

I feel sure that's what it's from because they only feel sensitive along the gumline, and stop feeling that way when I haven't flossed for a few days. Does anyone else experience this? It's annoying, as I'm trying to do a good thing by keeping my teeth clean!

    It will get better you just have to keep doing it even if it hurts or just do it every other night. Make sure you are being gentle and use a sensitive toothbrush.

    It's probably mild gingivitis. If you don't floss and brush every day, you'll get that feeling.

    well i dont know if you have braces or not, but i kniw braces have made my teeth much more sensitive from the pressure they under and it hurts SO badly when flossing as my teeth begin to come together.
