Does Your Gums Bleed When You Brush Your Teeth?

Hey, that could be Gingivitis. Inflammation of your gums. Better consult your doctor or dentist about that. It's not a pretty site to just laugh about it.

I had faced this problem earlier.But not anymore,this problem stopped on its own.Maybe becoz the change I brought in my toothbrush with softer brissels.I also started using toothpowder instead of toothpaste and use my finger sometime instead if brush that way it helps to reduce the bleeding,I feel.

I used to have this problem, but then i went to dentist and cleaned my teeths, now it doesn't bleed at all. but you are wearing braces, it might have something to do with that. ergh.. braces. be brave, my friend.

hi veron.

i think you have to change toothpaste, too. i guess it is not in the brush bristles alone. you can look for toothpaste that fights gingivitis or better, you visit your dentist and talk about your problem.

so far, i don't have this kind of problem. i remember when i was younger, but not anymore now that i visit my dentist regularly.

It is extremely important to see your dentist for the care of your bleeding gums. Bleeding gums can be serious enough to lose your teeth. Usually it is important to have your teeth cleaned by the dentist at least every six months.

I use Tom's of Maine brand toothpaste. I use the formula with myrrh and propolis. Here is a link on what this toothpaste looks like. I get it at my local health food store. http://www.tomsofmaine.co... also like using a good mouthwash. Here is what I use for a mouthwash for keeping my mouth clean. The pro-health rinse by Crest is a good product for a mouthwash. It is gentle but very effective. Here is a link to the products: http://www.crestprohealth... above anything, you should be running, not walking, to your dentist.

My gums don't bleed when I brush my teeth. I pay attention the dental health because I don't like going to see the dentist. It is expensive and painful. Besides using the teeth brush, sometimes I will also use the floss and mouth wash. I think it will make my teeth and gums healthier. Perhaps you can also try it.

I love China

I used to have this problem. At first I though it was because of my tooth brush, but after I changed my tooth brush and the problem still continued I went to the dentist for a cleaning. The dentist told me I had a lot of tartar and this contributed to my bleeding gums. Another reason for bleeding gums was the improper brushing of my teeth. After my visit to the dentist I didn't have any problems with my bleeding gums anymore.

Acutally I had the same probllem since my first teeth brushing,I don't have good method to combat it,but I suggest you to see the dentist and I believe they can make your gums not bleeding when you brush teeth next time,howecer the price is you need spend money since to see dentist si expensive as all we know.

that means you have gum diesease and it needs to be addressed so see a dentist asap. i had the same problem but i started to floss at least once a day and many days twice a day and i brush twice a day now instead of once. also when i can afford it i buy a good dental rinse but i do not always have the money for that. also i got a good cleaning done at the dentist which i am now overdue for but cannot afford it right now.

I had braces for 4 years, and when they were removed my gums would bleed every time I brushed my teeth for about 18 months afterwards. Its stopped now, but another problem I had, you know where the orthodontist wraps the piece of metal around 2 teeth at the back to hold the brace in? I was told this wouldn't affect me brushing my teeth, yet one of those teeth began to rot because I was unable to brush there properly. I had to have that tooth out. I may have straighter teeth but it didn't make them healthier!
