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.
In girls, the first signs of puberty may be evident at age 8 years with the process largely completed by age 16 years; in boys, puberty commonly begins at ages 10-12 years and is largely completed by age 18 years. Ethnic and geographic factors may influence the time at which various events typical of puberty occur.
