Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

As per your complain loosing of tooth does not occur due to flossing, rather it is commonly seen when there is deep infection on the guns leading to loss of attachment of the tooth to the gums and as anchorage is disturbed the tooth becomes loose..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and an x ray also needs to be taken to confirm the cause for the loosening of tooth and will be treated accordingly..

Hope this helps..

Regards.
