A. Hi there,
Your gums bleed because there is plaque and calculus trapped under the gum and is reacting with the gums- hence the bleeding. This is called gingivitis in the early stages.
If gingivitis is left untreated, then it can progress into more severe gum disease that will result in the bone around the tooth slowly being destroyed- and eventually loosening the teeth. As you are only 16, i would strongly advise a hygienist visit- where you can also be tought good brushing techniques, flossing and inter-dental cleaning. Oral care is so important. Please make a vist to your dentist as soon as possible to try and stabilise your condition. Hope this information has helped you.
