My gums bleed after I brush. Is this something to be concerned about?
Bleeding is usually a sign of a problem – healthy gums shouldn’t bleed. When gums do bleed, the cause usually stems from the patient brushing too hard or, more commonly, from gum disease. We can consult with you on the proper toothbrush and pressure for safe, effective daily oral care. If your gums show signs of periodontal disease, we may recommend a deep cleaning treatment to arrest the progression of the disease. Gum disease is the leading cause of tooth loss for American adults, and it has been linked to many overall health problems, including stroke, heart attack, and respiratory problems. Untreated, gum disease can escalate to create a host of problems and significant oral damage, so call for an assessment now. We will help you keep your teeth and gums healthy for life!
