Bleeding Gums

Q. What causes gums to bleed?

A. Bleeding gums are caused by a periodontal infection (Infection of the gum tissue). The common term dentists' use is (periodontitis or gingivitis). Bleeding can also be caused by brushing too hard or by using a toothbrush with bristles that are too hard or stiff.

If you or anyone in your family have gums that bleed, PLEASE DO NOT LET THIS CONDITION GO UNTREATED. See your dentist as soon as possible to prevent unnecessary tooth loss.

We also recommend using the extra soft Natural Bristle Toothbrushes, Flossers and the Complete Dental Hygiene Kit associated with this site. Keeping teeth clean helps your gums stay healthy so they won't blead.
