Why: If you have gum disease and your gums bleed easily your entire body is at risk...Heart disease, diabetes and cancer to name a few have inflamatory aspects to them. Gum disease is an inflamatory disease. If your brush or floss wrong they can bleed, and if you just like making your gums bleed and find it pleasurable perhaps you should get help from a mental care health provider.

Hard to determine: Does the bleeding alleviate some pressure or pain in your gingival tissue, or are you purposely damaging your gums which gives you mental satisfaction? Your question should be addressed by a local mental health professional who can discuss this matter with you in a private setting. All the best..
