🦷 What your gums are trying to tell you…
Your gums are one of the first places your mouth shows signs that something isn’t quite right - and they often speak up long before your teeth do.
Here’s what to look out for:
🩸 Bleeding when brushing or flossing
This is not “normal” - it’s usually an early sign of gum inflammation (gingivitis).
😷 Persistent bad breath
Often caused by bacteria building up below the gumline.
🔴 Red, swollen or tender gums
Healthy gums should look pink and feel firm, not puffy or sore.
📉 Gums pulling away from teeth
This can be a sign of gum disease progressing and needs attention early.
The good news?
Gum disease is highly preventable and very manageable when caught early — and regular check-ups make all the difference.
