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.
Puberty hits boys slightly later than it does girls. In general, boys begin puberty between the ages of 12 and 15 years. This means their biggest growth spurt happens about two years after it does with girls. Most boys stop gaining height by age 16, but their muscles may continue to develop.
