If you have bleeding in your gums, it might be an indicator for you to have a gum disease or at risk of developing it. Continuous gum bleeding might be caused by plaque accumulation on the teeth or an overall lack of oral hygiene. Also, it might potentially indicate a more significant medical problem.
Some general causes for gum bleeding are brushing the teeth with the wrong technique or toothbrush and not flossing properly. Yet, it's possible that you have some kind of gum disease if the condition is persistent. The most prevalent sign of gum disease is bleeding gums. However, it might also indicate other health issues. Periodic gum bleeding can be caused by cleaning your teeth too aggressively or lacking any oral cleaning and care. Persistent gum bleeding can potentially be an indicator for some dental problems such as gingivitis and periodontitis. Even though they are rare occurrences, frequent gum bleeding can be a sign of severe vitamin deficiency, leukemia, and lack of platelets.
Visiting your dentist regularly for dental checkups and professional dental cleaning will be able to prevent the bleeding on your gums. If you have further dental problems regarding your gums, periodontists in our clinic will be able to diagnose and treat them early thus they cannot cause further discomfort.
