What should I do if my gums are bleeding?

The most important thing is not to stop brushing.

Keep cleaning your teeth twice a day with a fluoride toothpaste and use interdental brushes or floss daily.

Within a couple of weeks, you should see your gums becoming healthier and bleeding less. 

If the problem continues, make sure you see your dentist or dental hygienist for professional advice and treatment.
