๐ฆท Why Do My Gums Bleed When I Brush?
Have you ever noticed blood while brushing your teeth or spitting out toothpaste?
Itโs easy to ignore, especially when thereโs no pain. But bleeding gums can be a sign that something needs attention.
Some common reasons include:
โข Plaque buildup along the gumline
โข Inflamed or irritated gums
โข Hardened tartar that brushing canโt remove
โข Brushing too hard or using the wrong technique
If your gums bleed regularly, donโt just stop brushing that area. Keep brushing gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush and clean between your teeth carefully.
If the bleeding continues, or you notice swelling, tenderness, or persistent bad breath, a dental checkup can help identify the cause.
Healthy gums matter just as much as healthy teeth. โค๏ธ
