Question: What can I do to help stop bleeding gums?
Reply: Most often bleeding gums is a sign that you may have gingivitis or gum disease. In many cases you can help stop your gums from bleeding by improving your own at home care. This would include: brushing your teeth and cleaning between your teeth by flossing daily. One product you may want to also try is a pulsating water flosser. Studies have found that people who add a water flosser to their oral hygiene routine improve their oral health in as little as two weeks. However taking care of your gums and dental health does not stop at home. You need to see a dentist regularly in order to maintain your dental and oral health.
