Gum damage as a result of treatment

Author: Reyus Mammadli

Question details: Please advise. I had my front teeth flossed, but it must have been very rough, the gum has been sore for two weeks now, and I think it’s necrotic. It pulled away from the tooth, and a pocket was formed. How did this happen from flossing? What should I do now?

Answer: After the use of floss, indeed, in some cases, the complications you describe are possible. You urgently need to be examined by a dentist or a surgeon. Then it will be clear exactly how serious the situation is and how to solve your problem.
