Do you see blood in the sink when you brush your teeth? This can be due to a chronic infection in your mouth. It isn’t normal for your gums to bleed when you brush them. When this happens, it can indicate the presence of harmful bacteria.
Gums are snug as they help keep bacteria from entering the roots of your teeth. But in some cases, they can recede or get loose, allowing bacteria to sneak in and damage tissues. Severely damaged tissues can cause teeth to fall out as the gums can no longer keep them in place.
Bacteria can also reach the bloodstream and cause various medical conditions. This can also result in extreme pain and the process can be slow.
Possible Reasons Your Gums Bleed When You Brush
Every step you take to care for your teeth is also one step you take to ensure a healthy body. Don’t fret when your gums bleed. Dental professionals can help you address it.
