Doctor, I’ve noticed that my gums bleed a little whenever I brush my teeth. It’s not severe, but it happens almost every time and I’m worried it might be a sign of gum disease. I’m not sure if I’m brushing too hard or if something else is causing it.
At Ashford Dental Centre, minor gum bleeding is usually managed by first checking for plaque buildup and early signs of gum disease. We may recommend professional cleaning to remove tartar and provide guidance on gentle brushing techniques and the right toothbrush. Maintaining good oral hygiene and regular dental visits can usually prevent further bleeding and keep your gums healthy.
