My gums bleed when I brush. Should I be concerned?

Bleeding generally points to a problem, and bleeding gums are no different. While this symptom can be caused by improper brushing or a hard toothbrush, bleeding .often indicates gum disease, a serious health condition. Without treatment, it can lead to other problems like tooth loss, heart disease, and stroke. Call our Fort Worth dental office right away and schedule an appointment to have a complete evaluation.
