Don’t ignore your gums!
Gum disease, also called periodontal disease, starts with plaque buildup from poor brushing or flossing.
Why do my gums bleed?
This plaque irritates the gums, causing inflammation (gingivitis) that makes them red and bleed easily.
Is it serious?
If left untreated, the inflammation can spread deeper, damaging the bone supporting your teeth.
