Teeth hurt after flossing?

After flossing my teeth, they hurt. NOT my gums, my actual teeth. They feel slightly toothachey for about half an hour or so then the pain gradually disappears. Not all of my teeth, but quite a lot of them.





Why is that?

Teeth hurt after flossing?
When you first start flossing, it usually takes about 1 week of daily flossing for the nerves to become adjusted to the floss (vibration of nylon cord)moving between the teeth. And sometimes the gums will even bleed for a few folsses,but this is all normal until the tooth nerves becomes use to the process. Sometimes a warm glass of water mixed with 2tbl. spoons of salt (use for a mouth rinse) will relax the nerves. Just my opinion, Roman1
Reply:try a sensitive tooth paste failing that try rinsing with a mouth wash that should help
Reply:maybe you should go to the dentist for a checkup and see what is the problem of your teeth because a good dental checkup every year can be a good thing to make your gums healthy.
Reply:It's not the teeth its the gums. Your'e just starting out getting your gums in shape, so this is where you have to have diligence that the gums will get in shape. You'll notice after about two to three weeks that there will be less bleeding and less pain, each day.





It's like going to the gym for the first time, your muscle are sore the day after. After your all hulked up, your muscle don't hurt as much.
Reply:This is perfectly normal for your situation. You probably just have thin enamel on your teeth or have very sensitive teeth.





Actually this happens to me after I've been to the dentist for a cleaning. My teeth are more sensitive. I have tried sensodine toothpaste and it made it worse. I use Crest toothpaste for sensitive teeth and it works great. I do still have this happen occasionally. Take Tylenol or Advil if it is really bothersome. It sounds like it goes away fairly quickly though,so I would just continue your routine and your sensitivity will gradually decrease.
