LET’S TALK… BLEEDING GUMS
Have you ever noticed a little pink in the sink after brushing or flossing and thought, *“It’s probably nothing”*?
Bleeding gums aren’t something you should simply ignore.
They can happen when plaque builds up around the gumline and causes inflammation, but there can be other reasons too, including brushing too aggressively or changes to your oral health.
And here’s the important part: healthy gums generally shouldn’t bleed regularly.
If you’re noticing bleeding when you brush or floss, tenderness, swelling, redness or a change in your gums, it’s worth mentioning at your next dental visit with us.
Your gums are a huge part of your oral health, so don’t forget to give them some attention too!
