Bleeding can have several causes. Review technique and pressure, and seek advice if it persists.

What matters for this question

  • The ADA notes that brushing too hard can contribute to bleeding, but bleeding has other possible causes. Use a soft head and avoid extra force while arranging advice if it persists.
  • Do not choose an interdental or whitening head solely to address bleeding. Product geometry does not establish a treatment.
