Toothpaste!?
It%26#039;s not normal! You probably do have gingivitis which may be caused by buildup (plaque and tartar) you cannot fully remove with brushing and flossing. Tartar is hard (like cement) and should be removed by a dental professional (hygienist or dentist). If that is not the case they could help you determine the cause, it might be caused by a medication you are taking or other medical condition. The health of your mouth is effected by the health or your body and vice versa. Brushing 3 times a day (at least) for 2 minutes with floss and a rinse would likely be the best routine for you. The good news is... you can get rid of gingivitis, but if it gets worse it turns into periodontal (bone) disease. Good Luck!

Reply:no its you. you brush to hard. my dentist told me people think brush harder against your teeth help when in fact its doesn%26#039;t it just make your gums bleed. he said that%26#039;s why its recommended to brush at last 5-10 minutes softly so you can reach everything and allow the little bristles to clean the sides of each teeth.

Reply:It might be gingivitis, a form of gum disease. Healthy gums do not bleed. Gum disease cannot be controlled on ur own. If ignored it can progress to advanced gum disease and bone loss. Usually there is no pain so most ppl ignore it. See ur dentist for custom treatment program or at least piece of mind. Better knowing than not knowing. Good luck!
Reply:Bleeding gums when you brush is often caused by inflamed gums. Inflamed gums are often caused by the inadequate plaque removal from your gum line and can cause gingivitis.





Be sure to brush your teeth after every meal or at least twice a day. Visit your dentist regularly and be sure to let him know about the bleeding.





WaterPiks are good to help prevent gingivitis and may stop the bleeding of your gums. They aren%26#039;t that expensive and completely worth it.
Reply:no it%26#039;s not normal, it%26#039;s not your tooth paste, if you%26#039;re talking about bleeding gums and and clacium deposits inthe same sentence I%26#039;d be more worried about periodontal disease or gingivitis (if you%26#039;re still lucky) You can get rid of calculus by goign to the dentist and getting your teeth cleaned... you need to brush your teeth twice a day and floss as often as you can at least once a day..


AND when you write for a friend.. or um.. yourself and you%26#039;re trying to keep it a secret... work on your pronouns.
