Why bleeding gums should not be ignored
Bleeding when brushing is a sign of inflammation, not of brushing too hard. Left untreated, the inflammation moves deeper and destroys the bone that holds the tooth.
Periodontitis is also linked with general health conditions such as diabetes and cardiovascular disease, which makes early treatment worthwhile beyond the mouth.
