FALSE!
Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation resulting from bacteria & plaque build up!
With time, the accumulation of plaque causes gums to become red and inflamed. As you begin to remove that layer of plaque, your gums will bleed, however this is apart of the process. (So don’t be alarmed)!!
Dentist Tip of the day: Making flossing a regular habit will subside that inflammation and as a result STOP the bleeding – leaving you with happy + healthy gums! 🤗 YAY!
