If your gums bleed when you floss, what do you usually think?
“I flossed too hard.” “I haven’t flossed in a while.” “My gums just do that.”
That last one is exactly what we want to challenge during National Gum Care Month.
Bleeding gums are common, but recurring bleeding can also be a sign of irritation or inflammation. It does not automatically mean there is a major problem, but if it keeps happening, it is worth understanding why rather than simply accepting it as normal.
At MetaDent, prevention is about paying attention while problems are still small. You should not have to wait for pain or a bigger change before asking what is going on.
If your gums have been bleeding regularly, book a consultation with MetaDent or send us a message. We can help you understand what your gums are telling you and what to do next.
And now we want to know: Did you ever assume bleeding while flossing was completely normal?
