How much salt by how much water do I need to rinse my gums with?

Posted on November 30, 2010

I was told to floss at least once a day and also to use salt water to rinse my mouth and gums with as the salt would help kill bacteria at the gumline. I wasn't told however, how much salt and water I needed. Any help would be appreciated.

Also, if my gums are bleeding a little bit while flossing. Is that bad? Does it mean I have really unhealthy gums?
