Do Bleeding Gums and Bad Breath Go Together?

0

How you brush your teeth is important as well. If you brush too hard, you can cause damage to your gums. If your gums bleed during or after brushing, you are either brushing too hard or you have gingivitis. Same thing with flossing – if you use interdental picks, you can find that you are sticking the sharp end into your gums, which can damage them. Or if your gums are already weakened by plaque or colonies of bacteria, they can easily start bleeding just by being touched. But you need to keep your mouth clean so that bacteria don’t reproduce and give you bad breath. Bad breath can also be a sign that bacteria have already been in action, and have already dome damage to your gums or teeth. So that means that bad breath or bleeding gums can be both a symptom of already existing health problems, and also a potential cause of new health problems.
