It’s been several decades, about 20 different dentists.
I still bleed.
Comment on Why do they ask questions they already know the answer to?

I floss every day, and I don’t bleed, but then when the hygienist does it, I bleed a little. I am doing every tip they have given me to improve my form, but it still happens some. Any tips from internet strangers?
My best theory is that the hygienist is rougher on my gums than I am (they let the floss snap down onto my gums hard enough that it hurts) but I’m not certain enough to challenge their technique to their face.
