How to Manage Bleeding Gums? Tips to Help Reduce Bleeding Gums.

  1. To prevent gum disease and maintain gum health:
  2. Brush your teeth for two minutes using gentle circular motions, brushing twice a day properly.
  3. Floss once a day, as it helps reduce plaque and inflammation.
  4. Use mouthwash, which reduces the acid in your mouth, remineralizes teeth, and acts as an antibacterial agent.
  5. Visit your dentist regularly, at least twice a year.
  6. Avoid going to bed without brushing your teeth, as brushing before bed removes plaque and bacteria accumulated during the day.
  7. Choose toothpaste containing fluoride, as fluoride is an effective defense against tooth decay and forms a protective barrier for your teeth.

If your gums hurt, it is advisable to use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
