Gum disease is a common problem and bleeding gums are usually the first sign but you may also have some habits which are causing your gums to bleed.
Key takeaways
– Avoid aggressive brushing or flossing of the teeth
– Replace your toothbrush each season and choose a soft bristled brush
– Stop smoking as smoking irritates the gum tissues
If your gums are bleeding make an appointment with your dentist for an examination.
