What is the ruling on swallowing blood or vomit resulting from flossing during fasting?

The mere bleeding from teeth does not invalidate the fast. One must spit out the blood upon feeling its emergence. What reaches the throat from blood unintentionally does not invalidate the fast, but swallowing blood intentionally does invalidate it. If you did not intentionally swallow the blood, then your fast is valid.
