Bleeding Gums

The accumulation of bacterial plaque irritates our gums, and if not removed in time, it calcifies turning into dental calculus (tartar), compromising the environment around the teeth and leading to more serious problems such as recessions, pockets, and tooth loosening. Good brushing and Professional Cleaning every six months can prevent these problems, which are also the main cause of bad breath (Halitosis). It’s important to know that tooth loss and/or misaligned teeth can cause accumulation of bacterial plaque and calculus, which is why it’s important to replace lost teeth and/or correct their position with Orthodontics, thus facilitating Dental Hygiene.

One of the warning signs that should be consulted with a dentist is bleeding gums, as it can be a premise for periodontal disease. This type of disease is characterized by inflammation and bleeding, and over time, it can affect the soft tissues and bones that support the teeth. In extreme cases and when these symptoms are not treated by a specialist, the patient may experience total or partial loss of teeth.

The accumulation of plaque along the gum line can lead to a condition called gingivitis, which has bleeding gums as its main symptom, and if it progresses, it can present periodontal and mandibular bone disease known as periodontitis. However, there are other causes that can generate bleeding gums, such as bleeding disorders, brushing teeth too harshly, hormonal changes during pregnancy, poorly adjusted prostheses or other dental appliances, improper use of dental floss, infections, use of anticoagulants, or vitamin D deficiency, just to name a few.
