bleeding gums
Oral health warning
Bleeding gums are gums that bleed, especially during brushing or flossing.
The condition typically signals gingivitis or other gum disease, though it can result from brushing too hard or blood-thinning medications.
My dentist said the bleeding gums were a sign I needed to floss more regularly.
