@drkadish: Why Your Gums Bleed When Dentist Pokes Them 😱 Why do your gums bleed when the dentist pokes them with that probe? In this video, I break it down simply: you can see the obvious buildup above the gumline, but the real problem is the hidden plaque and bacteria under the gums. That bacteria causes your gums to become swollen, red, and super fragile. It's your body's reaction to inflammation (gingivitis) — not because the dentist is being too rough! Once the buildup is professionally removed and you get consistent with proper brushing + flossing, the bleeding usually stops completely. Healthy gums are firm and shouldn't bleed easily. #dentist #dentalhygienist #dentalhygiene
