    Flossing after wisdom tooth removal
    I had all 4 wisdom teeth out exactly a week ago. I've noticed the gum on my back two molars is detached, which the doctor says is normal. I'm just wondering when its okay to start flossing again?

    You can floss as normal but in the area you are talking about be sure you aren't too aggressive. Brush this area gently yet thoroughly as well.
