What Bleeding Gums Mean
Healthy gums do not bleed when brushed or flossed. Seeing pink in the sink is often the first warning sign of gingivitis, caused by plaque buildup along the gumline.
Common Causes
Hardened tartar accumulation, aggressive scrubbing with hard bristles, unaddressed food impaction, and hormonal fluctuations can irritate sensitive gum tissue.
How to Stop Bleeding Gums
Schedule a professional ultrasonic scaling session to remove calculus, switch to a soft toothbrush, and maintain daily flossing.
