🦷 Do your gums bleed when you floss?
Many people think bleeding means they should stop flossing, but in most cases, the opposite is true.
Bleeding gums can be an early sign of irritation caused by plaque buildup between the teeth. Consistent brushing and flossing can help improve gum health and reduce bleeding over time.
If the bleeding continues or you're concerned about your gums, it's always a good idea to have them checked by your dental team.
