Other Answers:
How long have you been flossing?

Keep flossing, that can only help. Use Listerine (they have good flavors, so don't be scared of it). That's what helped me. Also, use a toothbrush with soft bristles and don't push down too hard.

I had the same exact problem. I flossed and flossed and still bled around one bottom tooth. They used this device on me.a supersonic somethingorother. Anyway, it cleaned deep between my tooth and the gum. You can't get it with floss or a toothbrush. Anyhow, it hurt like a bastard, but my teeth felt unbelievably better before I even got back out to the car.

Good Luck!

get that tooth pulled

Everytime I visited my dental hygenist who professionally flossed my teeth I was left spitting blood!. I guess it was because I was never able to do such a good job as she did. Trapped food will decay and set off a defence mechanism in the area of the decay. When flossed you hopefully dislodge all the decaying food and the defence fluids making you a much nicer person to be close to.
