It is always a possibility that people will dismiss the blood on their toothbrush as mere occurrences that do not need further inspection. Still, such an incident (particularly if it occurs more than once) should serve as a visual alarm clock that wakes one up from the dream which fools one into thinking that worrying would be futile. Brushing too hard may feel like the right thing to do at first—it would be easy to think that by brushing as hard as one can, one can get rid of a world of cavities and bacteria—but in the long run damaged gums do not look enticing in the least.
