Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 Make an appotment with your dentist so they can make sure you don't have perodontis and give advice on flossing. Sometimes it just takes a bit for the gums to toughen up and flossing really does help that so try floowing every night for a couple weeks and see if that makes progress. If you just do it at random it won't help the problem at all. You can also use ora-jel which will numb your gumbs very nicley. > > I had upper jaw surgery a year and a half ago.

Guest guest Posted March 9, 2005 Report Share Posted March 9, 2005 I don't just do it at a random. I floss every morning and every night. But if it is some kind of gum disease wouldn't my gums bleed? ANd I just think it is a little odd that my bottom don't hurt, only my upper. I've been flossing every morning and night for about 6 months now. I neglected flossing my teeth when I had braces and I got them off 6 months ago so ever since then I've been flossing. So you don't think it has anything to do with my jaw surgery. Because I mean they did cut all along my upper gums and they were numb for a while. > > > > I had upper jaw surgery a year and a half ago.
