Fresh Breath Clinic - Bleeding Gums

     
 

Why gums bleed:
Plaque can be difficult to remove from some tooth surfaces. Plaque contains bacteria which causes inflammation of the gums. Inflamed gums bleed easily.

What to do about it:
Ask your dentist to recommend for you the most appropriate cleaning techniques or dental treatment.

Ways to prevent it:
Your dentist may recommend:

  • Cleaning twice daily with a soft toothbrush.
  • Using inter dental cleaning methods.
  • Using toothpaste containing an anti-bacterial agent.
  • Regular scaling and polishing.
  • Other dental treatment.
