I noticed that my gums started bleeding and the bleeding just wouldn’t stop, even after I rinsed my mouth and applied pressure. It wasn’t just light spotting while brushing — it felt heavier and more worrying. After a while, I started feeling anxious because I wasn’t sure if it was something serious. I’m concerned that it could be a sign of infection or another urgent dental issue.
