why do gums bleed when flossing
In: Other
The gums around your teeth have a job. Their job is to hug the tooth really tight to help keep tooth bugs out. When you don’t brush real good the tooth bugs sit on the tooth right above the gum and just poop acid on them till they get mad and red and puffy. That’s why it’s important to brush and floss all the bugs off. If they sit there too long without being flossed or brushed off, your spit turns those tooth bugs into stone called tarter and the tarter starts growing on your tooth like barnacles On a dock and imagine trying to hug barnacles! You’d bleed too.
