What bleeding gums are telling you
Understand common causes of gum bleeding and when to arrange a professional assessment.
Gums that bleed during gentle brushing often need attention rather than avoidance. Continue careful cleaning between teeth, avoid harsh home remedies, and seek an assessment if bleeding persists or is accompanied by swelling, loose teeth, fever, or facial swelling.
