Bleeding gums can be a sign that you have or may develop gum disease. Ongoing gum bleeding may be due to plaque buildup on the teeth. It can also be a sign of a serious medical condition. The main cause of bleeding gums is the buildup of plaque at the gum line. This will lead to a condition called gingivitis, or inflamed gums. Plaque that is not removed will harden into tartar. This will lead to increased bleeding and a more advanced form of gum and jaw bone disease known as periodontitis which may lead to more invasive periodontal treatment.

Why’s it so important to keep your gums healthy?
Your gums are like cushions for your teeth; they surround the tooth from its crown to its root in the jaw and help to support a healthy mouth. Looking after your gums is just as important as looking after your teeth, and without routine cleaning gum disease can occur. These are the stages of gum disease: Red and swollen bleeding gums when you brush them are a sign of a type of gum disease, gingivitis. When gingivitis is left untreated it can develop further into a type of infection known as periodontitis, which affects the entire area surrounding the tooth, causing discomfort and difficulty when eating Eventually this kind of infection can lead to tooth loss and may require invasive procedures to replace the missing tooth. Fortunately, this can be avoided by attending regular hygiene check-ups at the practice and maintaining a good daily hygiene routine. Brushing between the teeth, flossing and replacing your toothbrush every three months will also benefit your gum health.

FAQ’s about bleeding gums
Have a question about bleeding gums? Chances are you’ll find the answer in our FAQ below.
Why are my gums bleeding?
Will bleeding gums stain teeth?
Can bleeding gums cause a throat infection?
Can pregnancy cause my gums to bleed?
Yes, there is a reported increase in the severity of gingival inflammation of gum swelling during pregnancy [3]. The cause of this is unknown, but it is theorized that hormones present during pregnancy, like progesterone, cause progression of gingivitis by increasing sensitivity of the gums.
How common is gum disease?
Very. As much as seven out of 10 people in some countries will develop gum disease at some time in their lives. It is the most common dental problem, and it can progress quite painlessly until you have a real problem. That’s why it is so important to prevent gum disease before it becomes serious.
How does gum disease start?
Your gums may be a bit red, but you may not notice anything. As gingivitis gets more serious, tiny pockets of infection form. Your gums may be puffy and may bleed a little when you brush, but it is not painful. Over time, the infection destroys the gum tissue. Eventually, you may be at risk of losing one or more teeth.
