Will I lose my tooth if I floss around a mobile tooth?

Hi,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

I understand your concern.

1. A swelling associated with a tooth could be of mainly two reasons.

2. One is a decayed tooth leading to an infection and, secondly, a gum problem with infection.

3. With only considering your age, I am unable to guess what reason you have got the swelling.

4. At least a photograph of the involved area would be useful for me to arrive at a correct diagnosis.

5. I request you to send me a picture attached with the query for a much more detailed answer.

6. Flossing is a very good habit of continuing. So please continue flossing in between your teeth.

Regards.
