Over floss?

Last week my dentist noted how my gums have greatly improved. Pockets that were 4s, 5s were now 2s & 3s. I told my dentist that in the recent months, I had double brushed in the evenings and also flossed daily. As a result of knowing that my gums are now improved, I am even more paranoid about them reverting back to 4s and 5s. So now I floss more vigorously but holy cow, my gums do get sore. My floss of choice: Plackers & Glide.
