Flossing and gums

[Wdolidol]

Hi,

Should I touch my gums while flossing, and if so how, and how much?

Thanks.

as far down under the gum line between your teeth that you can comfortably get.

You should get a dental hygienist to show you properly, us dentists are rubbish at explaining these things.

@Gordon The dentist I saw this week is going to do my deep cleaning and show me how to use string floss and interdental brushes. Do you think he might be a hygienist as well?. I haven't asked yet.

It doesn't sound like it.
