If you change the frequency of your flossing, your gums may bleed. If you’re new to flossing, or you miss a day or two, you may see a bit of blood. But it should stop after a day or two. If you have bleeding every time you floss, it may mean you have gingivitis. If you don't floss your teeth, several negative consequences can occur: Plaque and Tartar Buildup: Food debris and plaque accumulate between teeth, leading to tartar formation. Gum Disease: Increased risk of gum inflammation and periodontal disease, which can result in tooth loss.  Cavities: The acids from plaque can dissolve enamel, leading to cavities and severe tooth decay.  Bad Breath: Accumulation of bacteria can cause persistent bad breath.  Increased Dental Costs: Neglecting flossing can lead to more serious dental issues, resulting in higher treatment costs. Regular flossing is essential for maintaining oral health and preventing these issues.
