Gum bleeding is primarily caused by chronic gingivitis or chronic periodontitis, which are essentially different stages of the same disease. Poor oral hygiene, such as not brushing teeth or rinsing the mouth after meals, may lead to calculus buildup on the tooth surface, irritating the gums and causing inflammation. In addition to professional cleaning, attention should also be paid to the specifications of the toothbrush when dealing with gum bleeding.
