Beware of bleeding gums

Bleeding gums are a phenomenon that seems to be harmless. We are used to it and that is why it is not considered as something serious. Often after brushing we find ourselves with bleeding gums. Bleeding gums may seem harmless but they are often indicative of a more complex disorder.

If the gum is bleeding chronically

It must surely be an infection of bacterial origin. This is gingivitis. It affects many people and is sometimes benign. It is due to a deposit of bacteria on the surface of the teeth that accumulates. This deposit will form dental plaque which will more or less weaken the gum in the short term. The tissues will be attacked and when brushing, bleeding gums appear. This can also happen when using a toothpick or when biting an apple. In the long term, the infection will worsen and your teeth may become loose. This is called periodontitis. Don't panic if you bleed when brushing, it's because it's not done well enough. Concentrate on brushing and take a mouthwash. If the bleeding does not disappear in a few days, consult a dentist.

What are the treatments for bleeding gums?

Of course, regular brushing is important to prevent bleeding gums. If you have gingivitis, it is possible to cure the disease. By brushing your teeth regularly and having one or two scalings done at the dentist, the infection should stop. If the infection is at an advanced stage and the teeth are starting to loosen, you have periodontitis. In this case, you should see a dentist as soon as possible. In this case, you will also have to have your teeth scaled, but more regularly, and if that is not enough, you will have to undergo surgery. Bleeding gums are the first indicator of these diseases, so pay attention to them.
