You need to get a soft toothbrush and brush your teeth and gums 2-3 times a day, and FLOSS twice a day.  You need to follow up with a salt water rinse to toughen your gums.  If you don't do this, you will get gum disease and rot your teeth.  The bleeding is a sign of problems.  I learned the hard way from a military dentist.

Anything can be ok for your teeth if you brush them afterwards. Usually anything with sugar or caffeine is the worse for your teeth, but as long as you have a healthy brushing regimen (brush, floss, mouthwash), then it doesn't really matter too much.\n\nBtw, milk and cheese are only good for your teeth when digested. Don't let it sit on your teeth or anything thinking they'll "absorb" the calcium because they won't. It will just help them decay faster.

Gingivitis is the first stage of periodontal disease and fortunately, it is reversible.  You gums are bleeding probably because you have poor oral hygiene.  Brush 2-3 times per day and floss at least once per day and you will notice that the more you do it the healthier your gums will become and the bleeding will begin to subside.  However, it is imperitive that you see your dentist... not only do you need an exam because it's possible you have a more advanced stage of periodontal disease, but also because you need a cleaning.  A cleaning at the dental office will remove tarter that you cannot remove yourself.. you will continue to have gingivitis until this tarter is removed.  Bottom line... make an appointment with your dentist as soon as possible.

you have the start of gingivitis - this is the start of periodontal disease. if left untreated this will result in the loss of bone that supports your teeth and eventually you lose your teeth.\nthe bleeding is a sign of inflammation and irritation of the soft tissue or gums. \nkeep brushing your teeth even though blood is present. \nrinse with either a warm salty rinse - half teaspoon salt into a glass of warm water or use a product called savacol produced by Colgate. read the instructions.\nbut this will only be a short term solution.\nyou need to see a dentist or even a hygienist to have your teeth cleaned and instructions on how to stop this from happening again.\n to maintain a healthy smile, teeth and gums - you should be seeing a dentist every 6 to 12 months.

yeah it's normal.  I've also seen it leave a black coating on your tounge if you don't brush it good the night before.  But do rule out a GI bleed.... if his poo is really foul smelling too go to the doc!!!

Bleeding generally means gum disease.  Flossing should help, but it does take time.  Before he does anything else, have him see his dentist.  He may have periodontal disease.  Not fatal, but not good either.

Yes, this is usually a sign of gingivitis which is the 1st stage of periodontal disease.  It is also an indication of poor oral hygiene.  Make sure to brush reguarly (2-3) times per day for at least 2 minutes with a soft toothbrush and also make sure to floss at least once a day.  You will notice that as you begin to do this on a regular basis that the bleeding will stop and the gums will become healthy again.  However, the first step you need to take is to get in to see your dentist for a cleaning and an evaluation and make sure you continue to see your dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups.

It's actually bad for your gums, not your teeth. You're brushing for way too long.

See your dentist.  You could possibly have periodontal (gum) disease which causes severe halitosis (bad breath).

probably, if you think about it. your basically putting twice the bleach to your teeth. beware of your gums though. your gums will likely be agitated.

It doesn't usually cause abrasion. Powerbrushes work automatically so force should not be applied. Toothpastes itself contains abrasives but that doesn't cause the abrasion on your gums, it is usually the force you apply. =)

It is over use that would be bad.\nUsed correctly it does the job it is intended to do. \nIt is best not to use it before going straight to bed as it can damage the teeth if left on overnight. \nYou can gargle with a dilution for sore troats. But I would recommend salt water for general use - as it is fair cheap and it works. \nGood brushing is the top priority - a clean tongue - massage the gums. \nIf you need to continually use listerine I would see a Doctor or Dentist to find out what the cause of the problem is.

Actually, it's a good thing as long as you are using a soft toothbrush that won't remove the enamel from your teeth after long term punishment.  Make sure you brush your gums and tongue also, and use a flouride toothpaste.

Yes.  You have bad breath.  Go see a dentist and then a doctor.

See an ENT or a dentist you might have a throat infection or tooth infection.  Usually bad breath is from infections or from the gut not the mouth.   So although you can brush garlic off your teeth if it's in your gut you'll still have bad breath, even if you don't have a nasty burp that smell will lightly waft out.
