My bleeding gums

I noticed that my gums usually bleed when I am brushing my teeth. Initially, I changed my toothbrush thinking that it was the cause of the problem. Unfortunately, the bleeding has persisted. Kindly help.

Bleeding gums are most often caused by harmful plaque – and the millions of bacteria in it – found at or around the gum line being left to develop gingivitis. Gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, may require treatment and improved oral hygiene to help eliminate it. A visit to your Dentist is important to rule out any other underlying problem.
