Brushing teeth and bleeding is a relatively common oral problem that many people have experienced.
The reason for this situation is mostly due to gum inflammation, poor oral hygiene, bad oral habits or malocclusion, poor dietary habits, etc.
Children are prone to tooth bleeding, which is closely related to the anatomical and physiological factors of their oral cavity
·Children’s gums are thin and prone to inflammation after bacterial infection or trauma.
·The narrowing of the neck of deciduous teeth can lead to the accumulation of food residue at the edge of the gums, which in turn stimulates the gums.
·During the tooth replacement period, temporary misalignment of the dental arch and the eruption of new teeth also make it difficult to clean up food residues, thereby stimulating the gums.
Children who are prone to bleeding while brushing their teeth are more common between the ages of 3 and 5. Children in this age group may not have mastered the correct brushing methods and their oral hygiene is not optimistic.
Plaque display agents can stain dental plaque, making it easy for the naked eye to identify which areas are thoroughly cleaned and which are not. They are used to detect dental plaque and can visually display the effectiveness of oral hygiene cleaning, including tablet and liquid types.
Parents who want to know if their child’s toothbrush is dry or not can use a plaque indicator to help check!
How to prevent bleeding from brushing teeth?
Master the correct brushing method

1. Adopting the circular arc brushing method
   Parents should pay special attention that after their child’s teeth sprout, it is recommended that they help brush their teeth until the child can write Arabic numerals fluently!
2. Ensure the frequency of brushing teeth
   ·Make sure to brush your teeth twice a day (once in the morning and once in the evening).
   ·After brushing your teeth at night, do not eat again.
3. Choose the appropriate toothbrush
   Choose a toothbrush with a small brush head, easy penetration into the oral cavity, moderate bristles, and a thick and chubby handle.
4. Choose fluoride toothpaste for brushing teeth
   Scientific research has shown that fluoride toothpaste has a clear anti caries effect. For children aged 3-6, it is recommended to use a pea sized fluoride toothpaste when brushing their teeth.
5. Use dental floss to clean adjacent teeth
   Many kindergarten children are most prone to dental caries in the gap between their front teeth, and a large part of the reason is that it is difficult to brush the gap between the two teeth, and parents are not aware of the need to use dental floss to clean the gap.
   It is recommended that parents use dental floss at least once a day to help their children clean the gaps between their teeth and remove plaque from adjacent teeth.
6. After eating and drinking, rinse your mouth
7. Balanced diet and balanced nutrition
8. Preventive hygiene treatment
   The main purpose of preventive scaling for children is to clean the plaque attached to the tooth surface.
   Children’s teeth are often covered with soft dirt and pigments, which can be removed by polishing with a rubber cup.
   If tartar is already present on the surface of the teeth, it needs to be removed using dental instruments.
9. Polishing
   Polish and clean the surface of teeth with a soft rubber cup and a fruit flavored polishing paste that children enjoy, in order to remove soft dirt and pigments and achieve the goal of cleaning teeth.
   Children aged 2-6 years old rarely have dental calculus, but they have more pigments and soft deposits. Using a very gentle low-speed brush or polishing method on a mobile phone can help remove them.

Little knowledge
The attachments on the surface of teeth are mainly divided into soft plaque and dental calculus:
Soft scale – mainly formed by the accumulation of food residues, epithelial deposits of oral mucosa, mucus and bacteria in saliva, etc., with a soft texture, it is easy to clean by brushing teeth and other methods.
Dental calculus – Soft plaque that has not been cleaned for a long time, calcifies and hardens to form dental calculus. Dental calculus cannot be cleaned by brushing teeth and can be removed using cleaning instruments.
