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.
The textbook Carranzaâs Clinical Periodontology states that âThe presence of plaque for only two days can initiate gingival bleeding.â That means that if you neglect brushing or flossing for just two days, it could cause your gums to start bleeding when you begin brushing and flossing.
