Posted by ty97 Sep 24 '09, 14:40

My gums start bleeding when I brush my teeth.

Responses:

Floss! (gently, but frequently) -- nm - mara Sep 24, 14:47 1
- they make these little kick ass floss on a stick things, so you don't have to wrap floss around your fingers anymore. -- nm - Remlik Sep 24, 14:51
Start flossing and using Listerine. - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 14:46 22
- The funny thing is: This all started about four days ago because I made a concerted effort to floss. - ty97 Sep 24, 14:50 10
  - oh! this is normal then. Your gums just need to build up. - Reagen Sep 24, 14:51 9
    - I'm not sure it's normal. - ty97 Sep 24, 14:55 8
      - You're fine. Just keep at it. -- nm - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 15:24 1
        
        I'm now imagining ty97 standing in front of the mirror with about 10 other STers around him coaching him on :) -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 15:29
      - This happens to me whenever I floss for the first time in a long time -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 15:21
      - it means you haven't taken care of your gums before now. it'll pass. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 15:18
      - it's happened to me many a time. -- nm - TFox Sep 24, 15:15
      - it is normal. my gums always bleed more when i floss after having not flossed for a while - shamu Sep 24, 15:10 1
        
        Well, the uranium fillings probably don't help. nm - Dignan Sep 24, 15:29
      - it is. Think of it like the first time you go to the gym after a long time. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 14:56
- I would say the reverse. Flossing is way more important. - Reagen Sep 24, 14:49 10
  - Heart disease says otherwise. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 15:29
  - This is what I always was told. My dentist tells me to do both. -- nm - loosilu Sep 24, 15:19
  - Who's the *doctor* here, punk? - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 14:51 6
    - like con_carne, I'm going off what every dentist ever has told me. - Reagen Sep 24, 14:52 5
      - My family has a history of heart disease and the studies speak for themselves. -- nm - Spawn Sep 24, 15:39
      - ...until today! - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 15:18 3
        
        a more unbiased source than the commercial, I cannot imagine. -- nm - Reagen Sep 24, 15:25 2
        
        Consider the bias of a dentist. - Dr.Vermin Sep 24, 15:28 1
        
        Assuming they don't want to get sued? - Reagen Sep 24, 15:35
  - Every dentist I've ever seen has told me I should floss. None has ever mentioned mouth wash. -- nm - con_carne Sep 24, 14:51
Scurvy? -- nm - Danedukenuuk Sep 24, 14:43
You have the gingivitis. Or lupus - oblique Sep 24, 14:41 1
- It's never lupus. -- nm - mara Sep 24, 14:48
