Do you notice that your gums bleed when you brush or floss your teeth? If so, you might be suffering from the early stages of gum disease (called gingivitis). Gingivitis can lead to a more severe condition called periodontal disease which can cause loose teeth - and can affect your overall health.
What are reasons why your gums might bleed?
-  You could be flossing incorrectly, or perhaps you have not flossed for a very long time.
- A toothbrush with hard bristles can irritate the gums.
- Your dentist can instruct you on proper brushing and flossing techniques to removal dental plaque and prevent gingivitis.
”Make an appointment with your dentist if you think you might have gingivitis.”
