Is blood caused by brushing teeth a sign of underlying problems?

Q.
Every now and then when my brush my teeth there is blood when I rinse my mouth. This does not happen all that often so I am not too worried, but would still like to know if there could be any underlying problem. I don’t brush my teeth too vigorously so I doubt that is the reason.
A.

Healthy teeth and gums do not bleed.  If the bleeding is intermittent and your teeth and gums are healthy and checked regularly than I wouldn’t be too concerned. Make sure you are using a soft brush.  When it does bleed try to find where from and have it checked by a dentist.
