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 takes place over a number of years, and the age at which it starts and ends varies widely. It generally begins somewhere between the ages of 7 and 13 for girls, and somewhere between the ages of 9 and 15 for guys, although it can be earlier or later for some people.
