    Cleaning of teeth
    I wanted to know if flossing and brushing my teeth everyday would stop the bleeding. I get my teeth clean evry six mounths, but I hardly never flossed. And I would taste blood by the time I wake up in da day. And was wondering if brushing and flossing everyday would stop this. Because blood cause bad breath and I don't want bad breath...

    Your gums should not be bleeding. How old are you? Can you describe what you do before they bleed?

    If you never or rarely brush and floss, it is likely you have gum disease or other oral problems. If your gums bleed without you doing anything to them, that's a bad sign and you need to see a dentist. In the mean time, brush and floss, use mouthwash (one that contains flouride) and hope for the best. Hopefully you don't have significant damage that will require nasty things like root canals, crowns and gum grafts.
