Frequently Asked Questions About Bleeding Gums and Gum Disease
⸻
FAQ 1
Why do my gums bleed when brushing or flossing?
Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum disease (gingivitis). This occurs when plaque and bacteria accumulate around the gumline, causing inflammation and irritation. If bleeding continues, the condition may progress to more advanced periodontal disease. Seeing a specialist periodontist can help diagnose the problem early and prevent more serious complications.
⸻
FAQ 2
Can bleeding gums be a serious problem?
Yes. Although occasional gum bleeding may seem minor, it can be the first warning sign of gum disease. If untreated, gum disease can lead to gum recession, bone loss, loose teeth, and eventually tooth loss. Early treatment by a periodontist can stop the infection and restore gum health.
⸻
FAQ 3
How is gum disease treated?
Treatment depends on the severity of the condition. Early gum disease may be treated with professional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) to remove plaque and bacteria below the gumline. More advanced cases may require laser periodontal therapy, surgical gum treatment, or ongoing periodontal maintenance to control infection and protect the teeth.
