My bleeding gums

Bleeding gums are most often caused by harmful plaque (and the millions of bacteria it contains) that sits at or around the gum line and develops gingivitis. Gingivitis, a mild form of gum disease, may require treatment and better oral hygiene to help clear it up. A visit to your dentist is important to rule out any other underlying issues.
