Bleeding when you floss isn’t a sign that you should stop…it’s often a sign of inflammation caused by plaque buildup along the gumline.
In this video, one of our periodontists, Dr. Campo Perez, explains why gums bleed and how consistent brushing, proper flossing, and professional dental care can help restore healthier gums.
If the bleeding continues, schedule an evaluation with our team in Dedham or Randolph. (and follow us for more dental care tips!)
