Noticing blood when brushing or flossing can be concerning, but it is more common than you might think. 🧐
In most cases, bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation caused by plaque build up along the gum line. This is often an early stage of gum disease known as gingivitis.
The good news is that at this stage, it is usually reversible with the right care ➡
• Brush gently but thoroughly twice a day
• Clean between your teeth daily
• Pay close attention to the gum line
• Maintain regular hygiene appointments
It can feel tempting to avoid brushing areas that bleed, but these are often the areas that need the most attention. With consistent care, bleeding should reduce as the gums become healthier. ☺️
If bleeding continues or worsens, it is always best to have it checked. Early treatment is simpler, more comfortable and helps protect your long term oral health!
