5 Year Kid, Bleeding From Teeth While Cleaning With Floss. Reason?
Hi, my 5 and half years old daughter's bottom 6 teeth are bleeding when i floss. I floss her every evening and I flossed her gentle as well. 2 weeks ago she had routine check up and didn't have cavities. What is wrong with her teeth? Thanks.
Last few days she has been saying floss gentle and I think I floss not that hard.

Dear,
I can see two complains in your querry.
1. Bleeding from gums: There are multiple reasons for same. Most common being lack of vitamins.You can start with multivitamin syrup.
2. If there is swelling of gums then please consult your dentist asap, as this could be infection of gums.
