🦷 “Bleeding gums aren’t normal.”
It’s simple, educational, highly shareable, and relevant to a wide audience. NHS guidance says bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease, and recommends seeing a dentist if gums bleed when brushing or eating hard foods.
🩸 YOUR GUMS ARE BLEEDING. SHOULD YOU JUST IGNORE IT?
It's something many people notice when brushing…
A little pink in the sink.
A bit of bleeding when flossing.
And it's easy to think:
“That's normal, isn't it?”
🦷 Not necessarily.
Bleeding, swollen or sore gums can be signs of gum disease — and recognising the signs early matters.
A few everyday habits can help protect your oral health:
🪥 Brush your teeth twice a day with fluoride toothpaste.
🧵 Clean between your teeth regularly.
🚭 Avoid smoking.
👀 Pay attention to changes in your gums.
👩⚕️ Seek professional dental advice if you're concerned.
Your mouth often gives you warning signs. Don't ignore them.
