No, it is not normal for gums to bleed when brushing. Bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease or improper brushing technique. If you notice bleeding when brushing or flossing, it is important to schedule a dental appointment for an evaluation. The dentist can determine the cause of the bleeding and recommend appropriate treatment and oral hygiene techniques.
