Yes, VERY BAD: Bleeding gums are the entry point for oral bacteria to enter your bloodstream and then wreak havoc on your health. This is the oral-systemic link. See a dentist asap and consider seeing a dentist who performs perio protect. This is a proven successful non-surgical technique for treatment of gingivitis and periodontal disease. www.perioprotect.com.

Sign of infection: It is bad to have bleeding gums. Gums should not bleed while brushing or flossing. Bleeding means infection, either gingivitis or more serious periodontitis. Please see a dentist asap for an exam and cleaning. Make sure you are brushing and flossing at least twice a day..
