I'm currently panicking. Whenever I brush my teeth, my gum bleeds. One of my tooth's gum has worned down. That's where it typically bleeds when I brush.

I'm gonna have to admit, I don't brush/floss on a daily basis. It sounds disgusting but I always forget to. And I'm really busy at times. But, that's no excuse. I'm brushing on a daily basis now but I know it won't work.

It's been keeping me up. I'm just so worried. I'll try to book an appointment with my dentist, but I just want opinions asap!


Warning! Teeth pictures! Quite disgusting!

Sorry if it's bad quality! I'll try to take a better picture when I have free time. Since it's 3:54 am where I'm from. Malaysia. My light is broken. Hopefully someone will answer me! I'm just so anxious. Sorry if you can't tell. It's understandable, I'll post a better quality picture next time.
 
Hi,

When seeing your photo I did not see any dental issue except the redness of the gum which indicate gingivitis and matches your description. This is a very common "illness": 80% if the adult population has it. Gingivatis is even more common among children than with adults.

Don't try, just do it.
