Below are some reasons why your gums might bleed.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Dental plaque<\/strong><br \/>\nDental plaque causes inflammation of the gums (gingivitis). The first sign of gingivitis is bleeding. However, gingivitis is easy to treat. Thorough brushing and flossing daily will remove the built-up plaque, eliminating the inflammation that causes the bleeding. Regular visits to the dentist can also prevent numerous complications.<\/p>\n<p><strong>You are pregnant<\/strong><br \/>\nHormonal changes due to pregnancy can cause gums to bleed. As such, it is very important to practice good oral hygiene and to visit the dentist, even during pregnancy.<\/p>\n<p><strong>Poor oral hygiene<\/strong><br \/>\nYou must practice good oral hygiene in order to achieve the desired results. It is therefore important to review your oral hygiene practices with your dental hygienist. The pressure you apply to your toothbrush, the angle of the bristles and your flossing technique are all important points to discuss with the dental hygienist.<\/p>\n<p><a
