🦷 Why Are My Gums Bleeding?
Bleeding gums are often a sign of plaque buildup and gum inflammation (gingivitis). Other possible causes include brushing too hard, poor flossing technique, gum disease, or certain medical and medication-related factors.
To help prevent bleeding gums:
- Brush gently twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
- Clean between your teeth daily with floss or interdental brushes.
- Avoid smoking or tobacco products.
- Maintain regular dental check-ups and professional cleanings.
Don’t ignore persistent bleeding. If your gums bleed regularly, are swollen or painful, or you notice bad breath or loose teeth, it’s best to arrange a dental examination to identify the underlying cause.
