I noticed bleeding gums when flossing, is this bad?

Not good: Bleeding=inflammation. Question is, why? Incorrect flossing/brushing? Cavities? Calculus deposits? Cavities near gumline? Periodontal disease? As you can see, there are a number of possibilities, and that's why you need to be examined by a local dentist.

Of course: When you wash your hands and your palms bleed is this bad? It might have to do with the technique of how you are flossing as well as gum inflammation or infection. See a dds.

May be.: Bleeding gum in different area each time flossing is ok. Bleeding gum in the same area every time we floss is bad, which indicates a chronic pathological problem such as food impaction and may lead to bone loss and ultimately tooth loss. See your dentist.
