Bohot log brushing ke waqt halka sa blood dekh kar soch lete hain, “shayad brush zyada hard tha” aur baat khatam. Lekin baar-baar bleeding gums aana early gum disease ka pehla signal ho sakta hai, jisko ignore karna future me mehenga pad sakta hai.
Healthy gums normally pink, firm hote hain, aur daily brushing–flossing se bleed nahi karte. Jab plaque (bacteria ka soft layer) gum line par deposit ho jata hai, to gums inflamed ho jaate hain—yahi stage gingivitis ke naam se known hai. Is time par signs ho sakte hain: brushing ya flossing pe bleeding, gums ka thoda red ya swollen lagna, aur kabhi-kabhi mild bad breath.
Good news ye hai ki gingivitis reversible stage hai. Daily gently brushing, flossing, aur professional cleaning se gums wapas healthy ho sakte hain. Problem tab shuru hoti hai jab log bleeding dekh kar brushing kam kar dete hain, sochte hain “daant hil jayega.” Actually opposite hota hai—cleaning kam karne se infection aur aage badh sakta hai.
Agar bleeding ke saath gums “neeche jaate” dikh rahe hain, daant lambey lagne lage, ya chewing par discomfort ho, to ye advanced gum disease (periodontitis) ki side par ja sakta hai. Waha bone bhi involve ho jati hai, aur tooth loosening ka risk aa jata hai.
Simple rule: regular bleeding is not “normal.” Ek dental visit, cleaning, aur proper brushing technique seekhna long term me daanton ko save kar sakta hai.
