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.
Young males typically begin puberty between the ages of 9 and 16, and it can last anywhere from two to five years. The age of onset is not a reliable indicator of the duration of puberty or a person's final height, which depends on when the epiphyseal growth plates close. This usually occurs near the end of puberty. At this point, the bones stop lengthening and men reach their full height.
