Introduction

• Do you experience bleeding gums when you brush
  your teeth or just notice that your gums bleed
  when you touch them? Most people think its
  normal. But when your hands bleed when washing
  them, aren't you concerned?
• Bleeding gums are the first and foremost
  indication of gum disease. If not taken care of
  it can spread to other parts of the bone that
  support your teeth. Eventually, your tooth will
  be loose and may have to be extracted. Medically,
  bleeding gums is called as Pyorrhea
• There is a tendency to focus more on the tooth
  surface when cleaning teeth but really, we should
  be more focusing on the gum line. This is where
  the bacteria tend to create infection and if not
  cleaned regularly, will cause tiny cuts. While
  brushing if you touch those cuts you create
  bleeding. This is the simplest way to explain the
  disease process caused by bacteria but imagine if
  you left that cut on your hand dirty. If left
  unattended, it would never heal, and this leads
  to gums disease.
• Cleaning your teeth and gums has become a major
  factor in keeping the mouth and body healthy. Be
  gentle but thorough with your cleaning routine.
  Here are some effective home remedies which you
  can try yourself to cure bleeding gums.

What Causes Bleeding Gums?

1. Plaque

• It all starts with the food you eat that sticks
  to the root of your tooth call plaque. In an
  effort to get rid of the plaque the cell of the
  body's immune system release substances that
  inflame and damage the gums and bone around the
  tooth. This leads to swollen and bleeding gums.

  gum tissue cells, making your mouth more
