What Does a Cracked Tongue Mean?
There are several reasons your tongue may appear to have cracks in it! Is it normal to have cracks on your tongue’s surface? No and yes. A typical tongue doesn’t usually have “big” cracks or deep grooves. But having a fissured tongue isn’t rare enough to say that it’s totally abnormal. Even though there are medical conditions linked to cracks on the tongue, a perfectly healthy person could still have tongue fissures without anything else to worry about. However, seriously deep or infected cracks on the tongue could be a cause for alarm for your oral health.It might be a fissured tongue, geographic tongue, dry mouth, etc. Let's talk about the different causes of a "cracked tongue" and treatment!

Dental Clinical Terms : Bleaching
Process of lightening of the teeth, usually using a chemical oxidizing agent and sometimes in the presence of heat. Removal of deep seated intrinsic or acquired discolorations from crowns of vital and non-vital teeth through the use of chemicals, sometimes in combination with the application of heat and light. Bleaching has been achieved through short and long term applications of pastes or solutions containing various concentrations of hydrogen peroxide and carbamide peroxide. Normally applied externally to teeth; may be used internally for endodontically treated teeth.

If Your Gums Bleed When You Floss... Watch This Video!
Let's talk about how flossing is not causing your gums to bleed; but it's actually the lack of flossing that is causing your gums to bleed! The most common reason for bleeding gums is just not keeping them clean enough every day. AKA brushing and flossing. When plaque starts to build up, your body sees it as bacteria that shouldn’t be there. If it hangs out for too long, your immune system starts rushing antibodies — which are in your bloodstream — to the infection. It is very important to maintain a healthy oral care routine. When you haven’t brushed your gums really well in a while, or you don’t clean under your gumlines and between teeth with floss on a daily basis, then it’s probably just a matter of time before your gums start to bleed.
The first time you take time to floss or brush your gumlines after a long break is usually going to be when you spot the bleeding.
