I brush them every week, whether I need to, or not?
Any ideas on this one?

Sounds like you may be brushing a little to often. Try gargling with Irn Bru every fortnight or so instead of brushing.

Every week? Do you not brush them everyday? If not, then that is your problem. Your gums are raw. You should brush your teeth daily and include brushing the gums also. Many people brush only the teeth and not the gum. Then one day they may get the gums and they will bleed a bit. Include them in your routine and you will have healthier gums with no future bleeding. Also change your toothbrush every 6 months. If the bleeding is excessive, talk to your dentist.

You should be brushing and flossing twice a day to help prevent build up of plague which leads to Gingivitis and Gum Disease. The teeth and gums should be cleaned by your Dentist or Hygienist at least once a year.
Bleeding is the first sign of gum problems so i suggest you book an appointment asap.

In layman's time period, even as your gum bleeds because your gums were both contaminated or infected, and in no way touching on to how the dentist wiped clean your teeth. yet each so often, your dentist or hygienist may be slightly demanding with the cleansing consequently result contained in the bleeding. it truly is amazingly confusing to verify why your gums are bleeding. a accepted cleansing is a procedure to get rid of plaque and marking. merely imagine plaque is like butter. you do not desire a lot stress to get rid of plaques. On different hand, it you've not had your teeth sparkling for a lengthy time period (like each years), think about developed tartar on your teeth that required heavy hand artwork or using a gadget that we call a cavitron (water spray %.). This cavitron vibrate and knocks the tartar off, which each so often might want to reason some bleeding. the most important component that you want to visual demonstrate unit out is in the journey that your gums bleed even as brush and flossing, then you truthfully've got both gingivitis (acute gum an infection) or early bone loss alongside with gum ailment (periodontitis). you should search for suggestion from out of your dentist or a gum professional for extra information. strong success.

Wait you brush them every week? or every day? Brush your teeth two times a day At least no more than 4 ... Aslo you could have been brushing to hard..or somthing you ate in the past day or two could have cut your gums up..
When I eat apples I have to be careful coz somtimes apple skin gets in between my gums and cuts them up...
Try flossing for inbetween teeth it could be somthing there that yoru brush isnt getting..Dont sweat it yet...if the bleeding continues or gets worse go see a dentist.
(oo wash your mouth out with salty waster 1 a day it'll really help

I think you are kidding, surely. It is the beginning of gum disease. If not treated your gums will retreat and your teeth will fall out. Then you will curse you didn't clean them more often. I don't know how old you are but teeth are so important. Once you lose them you never get them back. Also if you are not cleaning them properly you may suffer from a really bad odour in the mouth. Not nice. I wonder if you are "with" anyone? Probably not!!

I have a hard time believing this is a real question. You should know that you need to brush your teeth at least twice daily. Floss with it. Blood is caused from gum disease. You cant be serious!

Its from your gums, next check up with the dentist ask them. It may be because your gums are receding, which means they shrink. Don't brush your teeth so hard, make sure you brush them at least three times a day.
