[|Human|] Hi, I ve recently started flossing after my dentist insisted. It seems to be going well except for between two teeth: my right upper canine and the adjacent incisor. When I push the floss down between them, there is a sharp stabbing pain. I ve had a look around on the internet, but everything I see seems to have to do with gums. This is not my gum - it is at the contact point between the two teeth (my teeth are slightly angled towards the front of my mouth). I saw the dentist last week and he didn t see anything, but I m worried it might be something he couldn t see.
[|AI|]  Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. The pain the tooth while flossing can be because of the gum infection. The second possible cause can be an abraded tooth, on contacting with the floss, you might feel a sharp shooting kind of pain. So consult a good oral physician and get it evaluated. If it is gum infection then you need to get scaling done. If it is an abraded tooth, you need to get it filled. I hope my answer will help you, take care.
