When I saw this contest immediately my mind flashed back to when I was still in primary 5(five) when we had a lesson with our health education teacher by name Mr Kingsley and we were taught about our gums and how to care for it, though it has been long now that should be about 8 years ago but some memories still remains, so am very happy to be here with the help of this contest I can be able to share my views concerning this contest as well as learn more from my fellow colleagues

Bleeding gum also known as gingivitis is a situation in which blood comes out from your gums due to plaque buildup on the teeth, which can be a sign that you have gum diseases or injury which may have occurred while brushing your teeth or eating,
I some cases this can leads to increased or regular bleeding and more pains in your gums and jaw bone diseases also called periodontitis.

write some common causes of it.

There are so many causes of bleeding gum but the main cause of bleeding gums is the buildup of plaque at the gum line just like I said above, the following are causes of bleeding gums.

Gingivitis is the early stage of gum disease and is often the primary cause of bleeding gums, it is also the main causes of bleeding gum.
Malnutrition; malnutrition occurs when a person doesn't eat healthy or enough diet this can result to bleeding gum.
Brushing to hard can cause damage to the teeth I know you might be thinking that hard brushing can help clean and remove dirt's particles from your teeth but that's never the best option because it can cause harm to your teeth instead.
Do you know that smoking can also cause bleeding gum, that is to say smoking is not only known for staining teeth but it can as well affect you gums.
Another causes of bleeding gum is poor oral hygiene, some people normally have gums issues because of the inability to take proper good care of their teeth which may result to bleeding gum.
there are some diseases that normally causes bleeding gum, that diseases like cancer, HIV, and diabetes increase the risk of infections in our teeth.
