Bleeding gums?!


Question:

Bleeding gums?

so for like the last week or so my gums have been bleeding. Anyone know why this would be happening?


Answers:

Bleeding from the gums is usually from improper plaque removal from the teeth at the gums, in other words flossing. This will lead to gingivitis, or inflamed and bleeding gums. If you don't get that plaque off, it will harden into what is known as tartar and eventually could result in bone loss. Go to a dentist and get a deep cleaning and then floss daily & brush 2-3 times daily. Also, rinsing with Listerine for 30 seconds daily does help.
