My gums bleed when I use the Philips Sonicare AirFloss

Published on 04 August 2023

If you are using your Philips Sonicare AirFloss for the first time, a little discomfort or bleeding can occur. Read more information below on why this happens.

Using for the first time

When starting a new oral care routine, it is normal for your gums to bleed. One reason for this is because you may not have been cleaning in certain areas that cannot be reached.

Any discomfort will disappear as your gum health improves.

Note: If bleeding is excessive or does not stop within 3 to 4 weeks of regular use of AirFloss, consult your dentist.
