Bleeding from the gums or around the teeth should always be a cause for concern as it is usually an early indication of more serious problems. Usually but not always! Sometimes curing the problem is as easy as changing toothbrushes or brushing less aggressively. Some simple remedies include:
– Brushing less vigourously
– Quitting smoking
– Using a softer bristle toothbrush
If the problem persists for any length of time it is best to consult your dentist as “bleeding gums are (often) a sign of gum disease” and a professional opinion is required. For further general information about bleeding gums see
