Why do my gums bleed?

Why do my gums bleed?

Bleeding gums signifies inflammation which is commonly caused by harmful bacteria in the mouth. 

Gingivitis refers to superficial inflammation of the gums. This condition is reversible. 

Periodontal disease refers to deep inflammation of the gums. This condition is not reversible but can be slowed or stopped. 

If you notice that your gums bleed spontaneously or regularly, our Oral Health Therapists can efficiently diagnose your problem and provide tailored treatment and advice for you, just give us a call to book in. 

Any surgical or invasive procedure carries risks. Before proceeding, you should seek a second opinion from an appropriately qualified health practitioner.
