I have a little red bleeding dot on my gums after brushing, what is it??


Answers: Either you are brushing too vigorously or you have tender gums for some reason.
The tender gums could be from built up plaque under the gums or a lack of vitamin b complex in your diet.
If this area looks reddened or irritatied, see your doctor or dentist for further diagnosis. You may just need a dental cleaning. An expert can help you with this in a very short time. Whatever you do, plan on going to see somebody professional about this. You only get one adult set of teeth. Take very good care of them.
Probably the bristles damage a previous wound, I say don't brush for a few days then see if it still bleeds.
Could be an early sign of gum disease or an indication that you need to increase and be consistent with your flossing. Get an appointment with your dentist to have it checked.
