Bleeding Gums While Brushing? Don't Stop! A Dentist Explains Why. Many people experience bleeding gums while brushing their teeth. This often leads to them stopping their oral hygiene routine, which can worsen the problem. However, according to Dr. MahmoudMB, a dentist based in France, bleeding is a sign of inflammation and a reason to continue brushing. "If you bleed, insist," Dr. MahmoudMB advises in his recent TikTok video. He explains that the bleeding indicates an underlying issue, likely gingivitis, and that continued cleaning is essential to address the inflammation. The dentist suggests using toothpaste formulated to reduce inflammation, along with tools like a hydropulser, to effectively clean the gums and improve gum health. Dr. MahmoudMB's video has gained traction online, highlighting the common misconception surrounding bleeding gums and promoting the importance of consistent oral hygiene.
