The most common cause of bleeding when you brush is gingivitis, and infection of the gums. Untreated, gingivitis can lead to more serious forms of gum disease that will cause bone and tooth loss. When you see that your gums are bleeding when you brush, you should brush and floss more, not less.
When does puberty happen? There is no set age for puberty so try not to worry if your body changes earlier or later than your friendsâ. For girls, puberty often happens between 10 and 16,1 and for boys between 10 and 18.2. Remember that changes will happen over time.
Most people start going through puberty when they are between 10 and 14 years old, but this isnât the case for everyone. Itâs perfectly normal to start puberty under 10 or over 14. Most people who are assigned female at birth (AFAB) start puberty when they are between 8 and 13 years old. Most people who are assigned male at birth (AMAB) start puberty when they are between 10 and 15 years old. If you have a disability, you might find puberty begins earlier or later for you than it does for others.
