### input:
I have a cut gum above my front left tooth from over flossing with my Reach flosser.  My dentist pointed it out to me and took an Xray because at first we were not sure if it was from bone loss or over flossing.  We tried to reach the area with regular floss but couldnt so she was worried but no change in bone from Xray.  When I got home I happened to think I dont use regular floss I use the Reach flosser and tried that and it reached the area.  She told me to rinse with warm salt water and be gentle with it but unfortunately I am not consistent with the rinse.  Anything else I an use to get it to heal faster??   Im not sure how long I had this cut and it causes me no pain.  Last saw the dentist 3 months ago.

### output:

Hello, I suggest that you change your method of flossing. You are aware of damage done using your current technique. There are many styles of floss and floss holders available. I understand from your question that it must be a difficult area to reach. I recommend you try to relax your jaw and place the floss in gently. Do not stretch open so wide that your cheek is tight against your teeth. There are other soft interdental brushes designed for cleaning between teeth that you can try as well. I strongly suggest you continue to rinse and brush with an extra soft toothbrush. Gently massage the gum tissue. You must be effective but not abusive to your gum and Remove daily plaque. Please keep up with your routine dental exams and ask your dentist to monitor this area. I am glad that you're not experiencing any sensitivity in the area, but if you continue to damage the gum area you may risk some bone loss. A grafting procedure may be required to repair the gum if it becomes damage becomes extensive. Recession of your gum can lead to sensitive teeth and make you more prone to decay. Thank you for your inquiry. I hope you find my suggestions helpful and I encourage you to try different methods. I am sure with practice, you will end up with a satisfactory result.
