It is common for gums to bleed during brushing but if the problem persists contact your dentists. Bleeding can be caused by Gingivitis (inflammation) or periodontitis.

Is is okay to brush your teeth only once a day?

Brushing your teeth once a day is now recommended since over brushing is as much as a problem as not brushing them enough. You should use mouthwash and floss in the morning after breakfast and brush your teeth and floss before going to bed everyday. Chewing sugarfree gum 20minutes after every meal (or after as many as possible) will keep your mouth healthy and your teeth protected. Flossing is actually more important than brushing and so its something you should be more concerned about. ------------- Brushing your teeth 3 times a day is important as it makes sure that you're keeping bacteria away and stopping the forming of plaque. Also you need to floss and use a water pick to make sure all areas of your teeth are cleaned. While brushing you need to be careful not to press too hard cause that may damage your gums. Here's a video which shows the proper tooth brushing technique - http://www.checkdent.com/en/videos/tooth-brushing-tips-237.html


Can you brush your teeth too hard?

no YES, you can. if you brush them too hard they can bleed and that's not good. if you brush them so hard they bleed all the time, you can get infections in the cuts you are creating. ---- Brushing your tooth too hard can also cause gum recession. And if you brush your teeth horizontally it can damage your tooth necks.

Which is more affective brushing your dogs teeth or dental chews?

Brushing teeth will be far more effective at keeping your dog's teeth healthy. Ideally a dog's teeth should be brushed 3 times a week. You should introduce brushing slowly to try and increase compliance. Start by just letting the dog lick toothpaste from your finger, then gradually progress to using your fingers to spread the toothpaste over the dog's teeth. Make sure you give lots of praise while doing this and give some sort of treat afterwards to make the dog associate having their teeth brushed with something positive. Then let them lick toothpaste off the toothbrush and eventually try to brush their teeth - hopefully at this point they'll let you do this! If your dog objects to any stage of introducing the brushing then stop and try again another day, if you force your dog to endure anything it doesn't like then it is likely to dislike the process even more next time you try! Some dogs will not tolerate having their teeth brushed no matter what you do, in which case dental chews are better than nothing. You can also get specially formulated dental diets that have a large kibble size and actually 'brush' the teeth while your dog eats.
