What is bleeding gums?
Bleeding gums and mouth is a sign of poor dental and oral hygiene.
Why do we get bleeding?
Bleeding can be caused by brushing your gums and teeth too hard, flossing or other issues such as ill fitting dentures, sores, biting of the cheek or tongue, trauma, gingivitis, Periodontitis (gum disease) and oral cancer.
How can you treat bleeding gums
