Protect Your Gums and Your Smile

Sore/bleeding gums can be a result of gum disease, which is an inflammation of the gum tissue with or without the loss of the bone structure surrounding the teeth and is mainly caused by bacteria build up.

Gum disease is usually caused by build up of bacterial plaque, which can be a result of poor brushing and flossing habits, infrequent hygiene visits, smoking, mouth breathing and genetics etc. 

Healthy gums are the foundation of a healthy smile. If you’ve noticed bleeding, swelling, or tenderness, don’t ignore the signs. Early treatment can prevent gum disease from progressing and protect your teeth for years to come. Contact Freemans Bay Dental today to book an appointment and restore your gum health.

Frequently Asked Questions

Why are my gums sore or bleeding?
Sore or bleeding gums are commonly caused by plaque buildup, gingivitis, gum disease, aggressive brushing, hormonal changes, or poor oral hygiene.
Is bleeding gums a sign of gum disease?
Yes. Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease and should be checked by a dentist as soon as possible.
Should I be worried if my gums bleed while brushing?
Occasional mild bleeding can happen, but frequent bleeding is not normal and may indicate gum inflammation or infection.
Can sore gums heal on their own?
Mild gum irritation may improve with better oral hygiene, but persistent soreness or bleeding usually requires professional dental care.
What should I do if my gums are bleeding?
Brush gently with a soft-bristled toothbrush, floss carefully, rinse with warm salt water, and schedule a dental check-up to identify the cause.
When should I see a dentist for bleeding gums?
You should see a dentist if the bleeding continues for more than a few days, becomes severe, or is accompanied by swelling, pain, or bad breath.
Can bleeding gums cause tooth loss?
Yes. Untreated gum disease can damage the supporting tissues and bones around the teeth, eventually leading to tooth loss.
