bleeding is a sign of gingivitis. if your brushing and flossing improve, you won't bleed much if at all. as is, avoiding flossing only makes the condition worse.

if the contacts between your teeth are too tight and the floss snaps between your teeth into your gums, try dental tape (crest glide) instead of floss.
