it just means that your brushing to hard

Answer: It is not normal. Most often, it means there is something wrong. You may have gingivitis or gum disease. This is the most common cause of bleeding gums. In very rare cases, it can be a sign of other more serious conditions such as leukemia.

Check with your dentist or dental hygienist. They are best qualified to determine the cause of bleeding gums.

No. It means that your gums are unhealthy; you need to clean them more often, and to use mouthwash and floss if you don't already. --- When your gums bleed or are inflamed (look a little puffy or red) that is a sign of periodontal disease, such as gingivitis. To combat this, be sure to brush your teeth regularly, and use floss and mouthwash to assist in getting rid of the plaque that causes it. Another suggestion is to use water irrigation, which can go under the gumline better than a toothbrush or floss to get rid of food particles that were missed.

The commonest cause of bleeding gums is - gum disease. If you're brushing regularly - every day, you shouldn't suffer from gum disease. Make an appointment with your dentist for more specialist advice.

I can because this means you may have what they call gingavitas or other germs. You should brush your teeth more often plus use gentle brisils on a toothbrush. Or you may be brushing to hard.

Either you have sensitive gums, or you should use mouth wash to strengthen them, such as Listerine.
