Why Bleeding Gums Shouldn’t Be Ignored


Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? Many people think it’s normal — but it’s actually a sign that your gums need attention.


What Causes Bleeding Gums?
🦷 Plaque build-up irritates your gums and causes inflammation (gingivitis).
🦷 Poor brushing or not flossing regularly.
🦷 Vitamin deficiencies (especially Vitamin C).
🦷 Smoking and poor diet can make it worse.


Why It’s a Problem:
If untreated, bleeding gums can lead to periodontitis — a serious gum infection that damages bone and can cause teeth to loosen or fall out.


What You Should Do:
✅ Brush gently twice daily.
✅ Floss daily — bleeding may stop as gums get healthier.
✅ Eat vitamin-rich foods (like oranges, spinach).
✅ See your dentist for a cleaning and proper check-up.


Healthy gums don’t bleed — take care of them today!
