When you see blood in your mouth, does it mean you’re a vampire? Well, let’s find out...

Plaque is the major cause of bleeding gums. Plaque is a sticky, colorless or pale yellow film that is constantly forming on your teeth

When saliva , food and fluids combine, plaque - which contains bacteria - forms between your teeth and along the gum line

Dental plaque begins forming on teeth 4-12 hours after brushing, which is why it is so important to brush thoroughly at least twice a day and floss daily.

Using a mouthwash instead of regular brushing & flossing is like throwing a bucket of soapy water on dirty tiles. The dirt on the tiles wouldn’t disappear until you apply a sponge in conjunction with a good detergent to remove it.

If plaque is not regularly removed from your teeth by proper brushing and flossing , it mineralizes into tartar, a hard, yellow or brown deposit that tightly adheres to the teeth and can only be removed by a dental professional.

If tartar is not removed it can lead to more serious gum disease
