One of the most common and harmful oral hygiene myths is that bleeding gums are normal. Dr. Motiwala wants people to know that this is not true! Imagine if we weren’t talking about lips. Should any part of your body start to bleed when you touch it? The truth is that bleeding gums are a sign of infection or irritation, and if left unchecked, they can lead to serious problems that go beyond your mouth. Please read this piece to learn how to keep the teeth and gums of your family safe.
Gums Are Not Supposed to Bleed
Despite what you might have heard, gums should never bleed. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, it’s most likely because you have gingivitis, a weak form of gum disease. It could also be that you are brushing or flossing too hard or too deeply into the gum tissue. No matter what the cause is, bleeding gums are a sign that something is wrong with the way you care for your teeth. It may be time to see a dentist.
Don’t Stop Brushing if your Gums Bleed!
We at Dr. Motiwala Dental Clinic & Implant Centre can see why someone might stop brushing and flossing if they think it’s making their gums bleed. Gum disease, on the other hand, usually happens because people don’t brush their teeth enough. That means that putting off brushing and flossing will make the problem worse. Also, be sure to floss properly at least once a day. When you floss, you get rid of small, hard-to-reach pieces of food that gum disease-causing bacteria like to eat.
The Cost of Bleeding Gums
Gingivitis is a mild form of gum disease that is easy to treat and may even go away on its own. However, it can lead to periodontitis, which is a more serious form of gum disease. Gum disease is the main reason why people lose their teeth. It can also lead to bad breath, tiredness, early birth, low birth weight, tooth problems, and even heart problems. Dr. Motiwala Dental Clinic & Implant Centre wants everyone to have healthy gums and teeth, so if you have questions or worries about bleeding gums, please give us a call.
