My gums bleed when I floss sometimes, and some areas are more prone to bleeding than others. Should I try to clean those areas more thoroughly?

If you have mild gingivitis like me, floss daily and stay consistent. Took about a month for me but my gums no longer bleed when I floss. It does work!

I had bleeding gums for many years!! 5 days ago it was bleeding bad. I used a gingivitis mouth wash, flossed properly, used an oral b electric toothbrush 2 x per day, and MOST IMPORTANT I got a waterpik waterflosser and used 90 seconds per day at level 4/9 pressure. I also swished coconut oil in my mouth for 10-15 min per day.

Today I went to the dentist and they said I had extremely healthy gums!!! 0 bleeding during the whole cleaning !! 5 day turnaround!

I think waterpiks clear the plaque in the gum line way better than anything. Flossing and brushing is important still.

I bought a waterpik last week as my gums bled all the time. About 6 uses later my gums are not red and swollen in fact they don't bleed at all. I started with the rubber end for the first use then no.6 and the blood just flowed like a river but now they are pink with no inflammation. I would recommend the waterpik to everyone.

Rinse with a good mouthwash After brushing and flossing, plain listerine and just like they said peroxide helps!

[claysoggyfries]

My gums bled when I flossed tonight so bad it was like somebody punched me in the mouth. I regret not flossing and brushing my teeth as a kid 😔

Your videos are AMAZING! Yours is the ONLY dental practice that I've encountered that encourages using baking soda, hydrogen peroxide & salt on the tooth brush! You, your practice & VLOGS are impressive! Grateful 4 your work!

That microscopic view of the micro organisms in between teeth makes me shudder.

I had bleeding gums for 30 years - went for deep cleanings and switched to a natural mouthwash -helped some but I found an oral surgeon who prescribed AVOX - an antibiotic ( I think it’s a version of amoxicillin) - I took it for 45 days - it cured me completely - I floss n brush as I always did and get cleanings every 4 months - now I have zero bleeding - zero bad breath - zero inflamed gums - changed my life - my mouth is totally healthy- very rare for a 64yo guy - I think I had an infection for years that was causing all my issues - it’s a miracle- best of luck

Thank you for your insights! My gum has been bleeding for ages. I went to my dentist but he said my gums were fine. I failed a blood test before a blood donation event recently. I did not have enough red blood cell and iron. After watching your video, I guess I’m likely to have anemia.
