You ever brush your teeth and notice your gums are bleeding ⁉️🩸⬇️

The main cause of bleeding gums is actually the buildup of plaque at your gumline. If not removed, this condition eventually evolves into gingivitis or inflamed gums, where gums become swollen, tender and bleed during brushing or flossing. 

Worse it can turn into Periodontitis where you lose bone mass around your teeth which can lead to tooth loss. It’s also a risk factor for heart and lung diseases. The cause for both is usually poor oral hygiene and can be prevented by proper oral health.

Follow these 4 simple steps below to prevent all of the above 🩸😳😰

Brush your teeth twice a day ✅

Use a fluoride mouthwash ✅

Floss at least once a day ✅

Regular dental checkups, at least twice a year ✅
