Frequently Asked Questions
Heathy gums don’t bleed, bleeding gums are not normal and may indicate gum disease. It’s important to address it early to prevent progression.
Bacteria in plaque that buildup along the gumline irritate the gums, leading to inflammation of gums which known as gingivitis. Other causes include vitamin deficiencies or hormonal changes.
Even if you brush daily, improper technique or missing areas between teeth can allow plaque to accumulate. Try improving your brushing technique, add flossing, and use our gum care toothpaste which specially formulated to control bleeding, plaque and bacteria.
Yes. Brushing too aggressively or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can irritate or damage delicate gum tissue. Always use gentle, circular motions and a soft-bristled brush.
You may have gum disease if you notice:
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
Swollen, red, or tender gums

If you experience these symptoms, visit a dentist for professional cleaning first then start using our Bleeding Control Toothpaste daily would help in managing early signs while supporting recovery.
Yes, bleeding gums can be an early warning sign of gum disease. If left untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, which can lead to gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. Early care and consistent oral hygiene can stop it from worsening.
Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease, where gums become red, swollen, and bleed easily. It is often reversible with proper care.
Periodontitis is a more advanced stage, where the infection affects deeper tissues and bone. It can cause permanent damage with gum recession, loose teeth, and teeth loss.
Yes. Gum disease has been linked to heart disease, diabetes, and pregnancy complications. Taking care of your gums benefits both oral and general health.
Gingivitis (early gum disease) can be reversed with good oral care — proper brushing with our gum care toothpaste. However, periodontitis (advanced gum disease) is irreversible, but it can be controlled with professional treatment and consistent care.
Yes. Stress weakens your immune system, making it harder for gums to fight off infection. Poor diet, especially one low in vitamin C, can also make gums more prone to bleeding and inflammation. A balanced diet and consistent oral hygiene are essential.
Genetics can play a role — some people are more prone to gum disease. However, good daily oral hygiene can still greatly reduce your risk.
Yes. Bacteria from gum infection produce sulfur compounds that cause persistent bad breath (halitosis). Treating gum problems with our toothpaste and consistent care often eliminates the odor.
