Help! my gums are slightly bleeding when i already floss and brush teeth regular?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Bleeding Gums: It has been documented that bleeding of the gums can occur despite reasonable oral hygiene. I recommend an dental evaluation to determine the presence of under the gum accumulations of tartar that cannot be removed without professional assistance.
