Hi

i have always been really good at keeping my teeth and mouth clean through what I think is proper dental hygiene practice ( brushing twice a day, fluoride mouthwash and flossing) but i have recently started noticing an increase in blood when i am brushing my teeth and this is worrying me greatly. is it possible that i am brushing too hard ony my gums and this is the root of the problem? or do you think i could have underlying gum disease? should I go and see my dentist, I feel like I’l be wasting his time though.   thanks for reading and any help you can give me would be greatly valued
