You mean gums, I hope.
You could need a deep cleaning. Go to a dentist, use 'for sensitive gums' floss, and use a soft-bristled toothbrush.
It depends. Try using natural sensitive toothpaste and different floss. If there's still a problem you should see a dentist.
I like how everyone thinks they are smart because they learned teeth are bones in the 3rd grade.
You bleed because you haven't flossed in a long time OR because you are too harsh! Take care of them teeth ok?
That means you don't floss often enough. As you continue flossing more and more the bleeding will decrease. Sources: my dentist I had the same issue
Since as many as 80% of Americans have gingivitis, it is normal, but not healthy. Although you may be tempted to give up flossing, your gums will only get worse if you do this. Instead, buy some floss for sensitive gums and try to be gentler when you clean your teeth and gums. If the problem persists, see your dentist.
It's literally impossible for teeth to bleed.
But try being more gentle.
1.Teeth dont bleed
2.There usually is a little amount of bleeding when you floss.
If your not flossing to hard bleeding between the teeth from the gums can be caused by a build up of bacteria. The best thing to do is go and get them cleaned and what-not by the dentist, then try to cut sugars out of your diet.
