I’ve been flossing usually twice a day, sometimes only once a day, pretty strictly for the past 2 weeks or so. mostly because my grandma bullied me lol. However it still hurts? when does it usually go away?

    Listen to this guy/girl OP.

    Your dentist will almost certainly recommend:

    -Getting an electric toothbrush, READING THE INSTRUCTIONS, and using at least twice daily.

    -Simultaneously, getting a water-pik or similar (they make travel ones too) and using it twice a day. (Tastier if you fill it with mouthwash).

    Or shell out ~$10k or more (in the US) later for ignoring this advice, like I will in April, for gum restoration procedures.

    Plus nobody will tell you you have eye-watering bad breath, but they will certainly hold it against you.
