Bleeding gums: what it means

Common, and worth checking. Here's what to know.

What to do about bleeding gums

Gums can bleed for a few reasons, from brushing too hard to early gum disease. A checkup is the way to find out what's behind it. In the meantime:

Brush gently, twice a day

Clean between your teeth daily

Book a checkup if it keeps happening
