Last night, I cut my hand badly enough to warrant an ER visit, eight steri strips, and a finger splint with gauze wrapped around my entire hand. This means no flossing for me! I do have a waterpik but will it really help or will my gums bleed again in 1-2 weeks. This is the longest I'll have ever not flossed!

Try one of these: http://www.waterpik.com/oral-health-products/power-flosser
Not exactly the same as flossing, but better than nothing. (I got one at Target.)
