Is it normal for gums to bleed when brushing?

No, bleeding can be a sign of gingivitis, or early-stage gum inflammation. If you notice your gums bleeding frequently, it’s important to see a dentist and improve your oral hygiene habits.

Foods that help maintain healthy gums

A balanced diet is essential for healthy gums. Some recommended foods include:

• Chillies and citrus fruits: rich in vitamin C, they strengthen gum tissue.
• Leafy green vegetables: contain antioxidants and fibre that help reduce plaque.
• Dairy products: provide calcium and phosphorus, essential for strong teeth and gums.
• Foods rich in antioxidants: berries, nuts, and green tea protect mouth tissues from inflammation.

Daily Use of Mouthwash

Mouthwash is an ideal complement to brushing and flossing. To care for your gums:

• Choose an alcohol-free mouthwash to avoid irritation.
• Use it daily, following the product instructions.
• Mouthwashes that balance the oral microbiota, such as YOTUEL Mouthwash, help reduce plaque and gum inflammation.

Difference between gingivitis and periodontitis

• Gingivitis: inflammation of the gums, redness, and occasional bleeding. It is reversible if treated promptly.
• Periodontitis: a more advanced infection that affects the tissues and bone supporting the teeth, and can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.

Warning signs include:

• Swollen gums
• Frequent bleeding
• Persistent bad breath
• Loose teeth

If you experience any of these signs, visit your dentist.
