@teethtalkgirl: If your gums bleed when you floss, that does not usually mean you should stop flossing. Bleeding gums are often a sign of inflammation from plaque buildup along the gumline, also known as gingivitis. The good news is that gingivitis is usually reversible with proper brushing, daily flossing, and regular dental cleanings. If bleeding continues even with good home care, talk with your dentist or dental hygienist. #bleedinggums #flossing #gingivitis #gumdisease #oralhealth
