Our bleeding gums treatment options
Dental Cleanings
Prevent gum irritation and remove plaque buildup that contributes to bleeding with routine, professional cleanings.
Periodontal Maintenance
After gum disease treatment, consistent periodontal care helps keep bleeding at bay and supports long-term gum health.
Constant gum bleeding isn’t normal
It’s easy to overlook bleeding gums, especially if they only show up during brushing or flossing. But healthy gums don’t bleed. Here are a few signs you shouldn’t ignore:
- Bleeding when brushing or flossing
- Red, swollen, or tender gums
- Receding gums or teeth that appear longer
- Persistent bad taste or odor in the mouth
- Loose or shifting teeth
If any of these symptoms sound familiar, it’s time to schedule a check-up. Catching gum issues early makes treatment easier and more effective.
Questions? We have answers!
Bleeding gums are often caused by plaque buildup and early-stage gum disease. Other factors include brushing too hard, vitamin deficiencies, smoking, hormonal changes, or certain medications.
Yes. Frequent bleeding is a common symptom of gingivitis, the earliest form of gum disease. Left untreated, it can progress into periodontitis, a more serious condition.
Occasional bleeding from brushing too hard might stop with better technique, but persistent bleeding should be evaluated by a dentist. It usually won’t resolve on its own if gum disease is the cause.
Brush and floss daily with proper technique, use a soft-bristled toothbrush, stay hydrated, and avoid tobacco. A healthy diet rich in vitamins C and K also supports gum health.
We’ll gently examine your gums, measure the depth of gum pockets, and assess any inflammation or recession. Then, we’ll create a personalized treatment plan to restore your gum health and stop the bleeding for good.
