Bleeding gums are not normal. A bit of blood when we floss. Nothing to worry about.
But think about it. If your hands bled every single time you washed them, you'd be at the doctor by lunchtime.
So why do we shrug at bleeding gums?
Bleeding is the body's signal of inflammation.
Healthy gums do not bleed. Not when you brush. Not when you floss. Only in trauma.
If yours do, it's not a flaw in your technique. It's your body asking for help.
