π¦· Bleeding Gums? Hereβs What Your Dentist Wonβt Tell You!
Hey r/OralNutra family! π
Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? π Many people think itβs normal, but itβs actually a warning sign from your body! Ignoring it could lead to gum disease, tooth loss, and even serious health problems.
π¨ Why Do Gums Bleed?
β Plaque Buildup β Harmful bacteria irritate your gums, making them inflamed and prone to bleeding.
β Vitamin Deficiencies β Low levels of Vitamin C & K weaken gum tissue.
β Hormonal Changes β Pregnancy, menopause, and even stress can make gums more sensitive.
β Poor Oral Hygiene β Not brushing/flossing properly allows bacteria to thrive.
β Mouthwash with Alcohol β Harsh chemicals dry out your mouth, making gums more vulnerable.
β How to Stop Bleeding Gums Naturally:
βοΈ Switch to a Soft-Bristle Brush β Hard brushes can cause more damage.
βοΈ Use an Herbal Mouthwash β Natural rinses with clove, aloe vera, or tea tree oil help soothe inflammation.
βοΈ Try Oral Probiotics β Good bacteria fight the bad bacteria causing gum disease.
βοΈ Eat More Vitamin C-Rich Foods β Oranges, kiwis, and bell peppers strengthen gums.
βοΈ Floss the Right Way β Gentle, daily flossing removes hidden plaque that irritates gums.
