Treatment For Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums are more than just a minor inconvenience—they can be an early warning sign of underlying dental issues, such as gum disease or poor oral hygiene. At our clinic, we offer comprehensive and compassionate care to treat bleeding gums and restore your oral health.

1. Professional Dental Cleaning

The first step in treating bleeding gums is a thorough professional cleaning. Our dental experts remove plaque and tartar buildup from around the gumline, which are often the main culprits behind inflammation and bleeding. Regular cleanings help prevent gum disease from progressing and promote healthier gums.

2. Oral Hygiene Guidance

Proper brushing and flossing techniques are crucial in preventing and treating bleeding gums. We take the time to educate you on effective oral hygiene practices, including the use of soft-bristled toothbrushes, antibacterial mouthwashes, and gentle flossing techniques to avoid further irritation.

3. Scaling and Root Planing

For more advanced gum issues like gingivitis or early periodontitis, we may recommend scaling and root planing. This deep-cleaning procedure removes bacteria and calculus from beneath the gums and smooths the root surfaces, helping the gums reattach to the teeth and heal over time.

4. Antibacterial Rinses and Medications

Depending on the severity of your condition, we may prescribe medicated mouth rinses or topical antibiotics to reduce bacterial infection and promote healing. These treatments are particularly helpful when inflammation is widespread or persistent.

5. Addressing Underlying Health Issues

Sometimes, bleeding gums are linked to systemic conditions such as diabetes, hormonal changes, or vitamin deficiencies. Our dental team works closely with your healthcare providers to ensure that all contributing factors are identified and managed holistically.

6. Routine Follow-Ups

Consistent monitoring and follow-up appointments are key to long-term gum health. We create a personalized treatment plan and schedule regular visits to track your progress and make necessary adjustments for optimal results.
