My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?

It is certainly not desirable to have bleeding gums following brushing. However, the condition may or may not require attention, depending on the source of the problem.

Bleeding gums can be caused by any of the following: Improper 'scrubbing' instead of gentle, circular brushing motions; using a hard bristled tooth brush instead of a soft one; plaque and / or tartar buildup below the gumline, periodontal disease. If the problem persists despite correct brushing and flossing methods or occurs every time you brush, contact our office to setup an evaluation appointment.
