I am glad to join this great contest and would like to thank @suboohi for initiating such a useful topic. In today’s topics, I will be focusing on one that affects so many people but is rarely taken seriously—Bleeding gums. Despite the fact that it may appear utterly trivial and unrelated to general health, gum bleeding accompanies such severe pathologies as gum diseases, improper care, or nutritional deficiencies. The categories mentioned above help to explain why the problem occurs and how it is possible to avoid it evolving to a severe quandary. As a result, in this article, I will focus on enlightening other readers with information on why this problem is able to occur and how we might be able to stop it.

To my mind, such a problem as bleeding gums is one of the first signs of bad oral health and can be associated with diseases such as gingivitis. It can thus be very alarming if some people consider it normal that their gums bleed every now and then; this is actually a sign of something worse such as tooth loss. It might also be a result from vitamin deficiencies, various health issues or conditions. Many individuals should visit a dentist regularly to avoid these factors that cause these complications and improve oral hygiene.
