Gastric lipase (âlipâ means fat and âaseâ means breakdown) is secreted by the chief cells to begin fat digestion in your stomach by hydrolyzing (âhydroâ means water and âlyzingâ means breaking apart; so the breaking apart of a molecule using water) fat molecules into fatty acid chains.
Bleeding after brushing or flossing, or simply at random times, may be a sign of unhealthy oral tissues. Many people think bleeding gums is normal, particularly after flossing their teeth, but it is usually a signal to change your oral hygiene routine and visit the dentist.
Flossing allows people to rid the spaces between the teeth of bacteria, which sometimes causes cavities, but most often causes gum disease. Gum disease can cause bad breath, bleeding and swollen gums, loose and sensitive teeth and receding gums.
