What Causes Gum Recession
Gum recession happens when gum tissue pulls back from the teeth, exposing more of the tooth or root. Common causes include gum disease, aggressive brushing, teeth grinding, or genetics. Receding gums can lead to sensitivity and higher risk of decay. A dental exam can help identify the cause and recommend ways to protect your gums moving forward.

Why Your Gums Bleed When You Floss
If your gums bleed when you floss, it doesn’t mean you should stop — it usually means your gums need a little extra care. Bleeding can be a sign of plaque buildup or early gum inflammation, especially if flossing isn’t part of your daily routine yet. The good news is that with consistent flossing and regular dental cleanings, bleeding often improves. If it continues, a dental visit can help identify the cause. Make an appointment today to keep your gums healthy.
