Hi, Thank you for asking! This is a great question. Many people stop brushing their teeth as soon as they notice that their gum bleeds. Usually, the bleeding gum is resulted from lack of proper throughrough cleaning ( i.e. flossing and brushing), where plaque accumulated under and around the gum. If you notice that that your gum keep bleeding during brushing for more than a couple of weeks, one should go to his/her dentist and check out what is the fundamental cause. DO NOT delay to make a dental appointment. Let the Dentist perform the exam and he/she will provide you with a good diagnosis and treatment plan to stop the bleeding gum situation! Hope this will help ! Blessings to you!
