Solution to Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums?

If you experience seeing the spitted toothpaste colored dark brown or reddish on your lavatory, be warned. That could mean that you have gum diseases or you have been using the wrong tooth brush, unless you had eaten or drank a red-tinged food or drink that caused the alarming color in the spits after brushing.

I experienced the same thing for the past three months. I was alarmed but never had the chance to go for a check-up. That’s the time I have been searching the net for answers.

Using the right tooth brush for you is very important. Soft bristled toothbrush could be the best for everybody. I changed by toothbrush into a children’s toothbrush. I did not have bleeding gums anymore.

Some of us would think of whitening their teeth by using a hard-bristled brush. You might be using the wrong method. Toothpaste, bleaching agents, and avoiding beverages that stain teeth are solutions for whitening. Tooth brushing is an important method of removing plaques, preventing cavities, and maintaining a fresh breath.

FACT: Dentists say that plaques are soft and should be remove without force.

Using soft bristled toothbrush is best recommended. Nevertheless, its size should be enough to reach the farthest teeth at the back of your mouth.

Forcing and the use of hard toothbrush can result to gum irritation which results to bleeding. However, this is not the only reason for gum bleeding. It could be gingivitis ! If you think that changing your tooth brush did not relieve bleeding and you find your gums looks reddish or grayish, GO FOR A CHECK-UP.
