My gums bleed, is that normal? What should I do?

Gingival bleeding is not normal nor desirable, it is a sign of inflammation of the gum or even a
periodontal disease (a process that involves not only the gum but also the tissues beneath the
gum that support the tooth periodontal ligament and alveolar bone).
When gums bleed people often do exactly the wrong thing, they stop brushing the gums and
don’t touch them in order for them not to bleed. What happens is that more and more plaque
accumulates so the bleeding gets worse.
You should schedule a Dental Hygienist appointment to do a Dental Cleaning and learn the
correct flossing and brushing techniques to efficiently remove the plaque every day.
