Bleeding gums are a known dental problems that showed up when the gums turns inflamed and then get swollen, which it turn into bleeding when brushing and even flossing. This condition is known as the gingivitis. Gum bleeding can be a sign of bad oral hygiene, and if it's not taken care of, it can turn more dangerous gum disease and which is known as periodontitis.

write some common causes of it.

One of the most popular causes of bleeding gums is the bad oral hygiene. Meanwhile when plaque is created up upon the teeth and around the gum line, this can hurt the gums, allowing inflammation and also bleeding. Lack of brushing and flossing habits can also contribute plaque and bacteria in the mouth, which it do increase the risk of gum disease.

Another known cause of the bleeding gums is call the vitamin deficiencies, most importantly vitamin C and vitamin K. I will say the vitamin C is manly for maintaining good healthy gums and avoiding the gum disease, lastly the vitamin K work a good role in blood clotting. Deficiencies this vitamins can weaken the gums and make them more active for bleeding.

The hormonal changes, mainly during pregnancy or even menopause, this can also add to the gum bleeding. The Fluctuations in hormone levels can move to the increased in sensitivity in our gums and allow it more susceptible to inflammation and even bleeding. It is very good and important for all pregnant women and all the menopausal women to give extra attention to their oral hygiene with this the can prevent gum bleeding.

Few medications that include blood thinners or even what the anticoagulants, I will say, with this it also can increase the risk of gum bleeding.All those medications mentioned, the interfere with the blood clotting process which are taken placed, allowing it more simple for the gums to bleed. It is good and important for individuals taking these medications to let their dentist know so that good precautions can be taken during dental procedures.

Another known cause of bleeding gums is "smoking". I will say smoking can weak our immune system and stop blood flow to the gums, allowing them more open to infection and even inflammation. Smokers are also open of developing gum disease(HIGH RISK) compared to non-smokers. Quitting smoking can slowly reduce the risk of gum bleeding and make good overall oral health.

how can we reduce it .

During my research I found out to reduce and prevent our gums bleeding, it is good to maintain a good hygiene practices. It includes brushing our teeth always at least twice in a day, flossing daily, and also using an antiseptic good mouthwash, this kills the bacteria in our mouth. Also Regular dental check-ups and also professional cleanings are important to remove plaque and the tartar buildup.

Meanwhile with good oral hygiene, healthy diet which is full and rich in vitamins and even minerals, that can even go a long distance in avoiding gum disease and even bleeding gums. I will say foods that is full or rich in vitamin C, it include citrus fruits, bell peppers, and even strawberries, this can support gum health and also control and stop inflammation.

Lastly I will say food rich in vitamin K, which are leafy green vegetables, can also promote good blood clotting.

Any natural remedy suggestion on your experience that reduce it.
