Many people assume that seeing a little pink in the sink when brushing or flossing is normal. In reality, healthy gums never bleed under normal brushing. Bleeding gums are the primary warning sign of gingivitis—the earliest stage of periodontal disease.

What Causes Bleeding Gums?

When plaque accumulates along the gumline, bacteria release toxins that cause the delicate gum tissue to become inflamed, swollen, and prone to bleeding upon the slightest touch.

The Risk of Untreated Periodontitis

If gingivitis is ignored, infection spreads beneath the gumline, destroying the periodontal ligament and alveolar bone that anchor your teeth. This eventually causes tooth mobility and irreversible loss.
