Why does flossing give me a toothache?

After flossing I get a toothache. Is it normal? What should I do?

Hi there! Proper flossing will not be painful if your teeth and gums are healthy. There is a chance you are flossing too aggressively, or have an infection in your mouth. I highly recommend seeing a dentist evaluate this area.
