Don't give up!: If your good habits at home, i.e. Brushing and flossing, don't reduce the problem, you may have more serious periodontitis rather than just gingivitis. See your dentist soon.

Sore bleeding gums: Sore bleeding gums usually indicates periodontal (gum) disease. If it is not advanced, a dental cleaning and proper and thorough brushing and flossing will allow the gums to heal. A dental examination and x-rays will diagnose whether the problem is a gum infection, or whether there is another cause.

Dentist: See your dentist for examination.You may only have gingivitis which can be treated with a professional cleaning and excellent home care. Be sure to have the hygienist check your ability to clean your teeth and then help you become excellent at home care. It is bacteria you are fighting. You may need referral to a specialist (periodontist) if you have a more advanced condition called periodontitis.

See a dentist: Bleeding gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. Untreated gingivitis can lead to the tooth loss and other health problems. See your dentist ASAP because the sooner you treat it the better the outcome.
