Do not just quickly go down and up --- rather, you should go down, half wrap each tooth with the floss and go up. Be gentle and do not cut your gums. You should also use a pick -- again, do this gently and correctly. Slide it gently under the gum line and carefully trace around each tooth. If you are having gum problems, flossing and picking are far more important than brushing. I'm not saying do not brush -- I'm saying that brushing alone without flossing and picking will not yield any results.
