Preventing Bleeding Gums.
When to go in for that check up
If you’ve noticed that your gums are bleeding each time you brush or floss your teeth, it could be a sign that something is wrong.
Bleeding gums can signal that you may have gum disease, a tooth injury or an infection that should be treated right away.
Gum disease often isn’t painful, so you may not notice you have it until it’s reached an advanced stage. However, it is possible to reverse the damage through gum disease treatments offered by your dentist.
Bleeding Gums
Causes of bleeding gums may be attributed to:
Brushing or flossing too hard.
A vitamin deficiency.
Blood thinners or other medications.
A bleeding or clotting disorder.
Pregnancy gingivitis, often caused by hormonal changes.
Ill-fitting dentures.
Mouth problems, including sores.
Chronic health conditions, including diabetes, leukemia or heart disease.
If you’ve noticed an increase in blood while brushing or flossing, schedule an appointment for a check-up with your dentist. A dentist will be able to diagnose and properly treat your bleeding gums while also helping to prevent gum disease by giving you a professional cleaning to remove the plaque and tartar from your teeth.
