Bleeding gums: Why do my gums bleed when I brush my teeth?
Bleeding gums when brushing your teeth is often a sign of gum disease, such as gingivitis or periodontitis. It can also result from brushing too hard, using a hard-bristled toothbrush, or having poor oral hygiene.
If your gums bleed regularly, it's important to see a dentist for a proper diagnosis and treatment to prevent further gum recession or tooth loss.
