You see blood in the sink, so you stop flossing.
Sound familiar?
Here's what's actually happening...
That bleeding isn't damage. It's your gums reacting to plaque buildup that has been accumulating between your teeth.
When you haven't flossed in a while, your gums can become irritated when you start flossing again. This is completely normal and usually stops within a few days of consistent flossing.
Some are simple fixes, like switching from a hard-bristled toothbrush to a soft one.
Others are more surprising, like not getting enough vitamin C or vitamin K in your diet.
Did you know pregnancy can make your gums bleed more during the second trimester?
Or that people with diabetes are more likely to have bleeding gums because their bodies can't fight bacteria as well?
The good news? Most bleeding gum issues can be fixed with the right knowledge and consistent care.
This article explains exactly why each cause happens and what healthy gums should actually look like.
Plus, it breaks down the difference between gingivitis and the more serious periodontal disease.
You'll also learn the specific steps to treat bleeding gums at home, including how often to replace your toothbrush and why a salt-water rinse helps.
