  1. Hard to say without looking at it, however...

    Gum disease can occur even if you brush your teeth daily as plaque builds up under the gumline.  If your young, I doubt its gum disease.

    Chances are something in the corndog irritated your gumline, either burning it, or pushing it away from the tooth causing it to bleed.

    It should stop and heal on its own in a day or two.  If it persists after a day or two, contact your dentist as something may be lodged below the gumline.


  2. brushing takes a quarter of plaque away and floshing damages teeth in the long run, something in the floss causes acid erosion. its either you brush your teeth too fast, or you dont brush in a circuler motion, or you might have ripped a gum during eating or brushing

  3. my dentist told me if your gums bleed you could have gingivitis or pyorrhea call your dentist and ask him if left untreated it could become something serious  and you could loose your teeth.

  4. Maybe without you noticing you ripped some piece of your gum. If your certian that you didn't then you need to go see a dentist.

  5. I dont no but u need to see a doctor As Soon As Possible, that sounds bad
