Why does my tongue keep bleeding when i brush it?

Question

I don't even be brushing it that hard. Just hard enough to get the white stuff off. I brush in the morning and at night.

Answer 1

When you brush, instead of just up and down, go left right or circles. Use w/toothbrush. But go gentle. I use the one by GUM, has a scraper on one end and brush on the other. I do two swipes and I'm done. If you eat a lot of junk food, it can make your tongue white. Or it could be an infection if it's white. Best to see a doc. Good luck!
