Gastric lipase (âlipâ means fat and âaseâ means breakdown) is secreted by the chief cells to begin fat digestion in your stomach by hydrolyzing (âhydroâ means water and âlyzingâ means breaking apart; so the breaking apart of a molecule using water) fat molecules into fatty acid chains.
Bleeding after brushing or flossing, or simply at random times, may be a sign of unhealthy oral tissues. Many people think bleeding gums is normal, particularly after flossing their teeth, but it is usually a signal to change your oral hygiene routine and visit the dentist.
Bleeding gums is symptomatic of a periodontal gum condition called gingivitis. Flossing the in between area of the teeth removes bacterial plaque which causes the tissue irritation and the bleeding. Keep flossing and the bleeding should stop over a period of a week or so. If it does not there may be a hard deposit called calculus or commonly called tartar present that simple flossing cannot remove.
