your gums are very sensitive, just watch what junk food you eat, and do more fruits and vegetables
Reply:It is just probably a buildup of plaque.Bleeding gums could be a sign of gingivitis....just get your teeth cleaned at the dentist....dont worry thoughyu will be fine.
Reply:MAYBE BECAUSE U ONLY BRUSH UR TEETH GOOD EVERY ONCE IN A WHILE AND THEY COULD JUST HAVE GOTTEN USED TO NOT VERY MUCH BRUSHING AND THEN HID SOEM OF THE PLAC WHERE U HAVENT GOT AND THEN WHEN U BRUSH GOOD THEY START BLEEDING BUT I AM NOT SURE AND NO I AM NOT A DENTIST
Reply:could you be pregnant? bleeding gums happens in pregnancy.
Reply:bleeding gums aren't good, see your doctor
Reply:Just be careful, might be a sign of Gum Disease.

it sounds as though you are brushing too hard


even though teeth are hard, gums are soft so take it easy





get a new toothbrush, not too stiff


brushing after every meal is a good habit to get into, it keeps your mouth fresh (and kissable!)

Reply:brush them regulary and they wont do that. i suggest you brush them twice a day.
Reply:go back to your dentist or get a second opinion, because it sound like you have gingivitis... the longer you wait the more severe it can get. if it bleeds once in a while, then it could be a mild form of gingivitis, but if this is a daily routine ran to your dentist. gum disease is not something to play around with.
Reply:my gums used to bleed. ask your dentist about massaging your gums. You get this little 3 dollar tool at the store which has a rubber poiny end. And you stick it inbetween your teeth on your gums (ask your hygienist for a demonstration on model teeth).





It might hurt a little but it adds pressure to your gums and makes them stronger. My gums used to bleed. Now they don't (well sometimes,but not everyday).
