See a Periodontist: See a periodontist or at least your own general dentist for a periodontal evaluation and suggested treatment.

Gum disease: Bleeding gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. The bacteria, along with mucus and other particles, constantly form a sticky, colorless toxic “plaque” on teeth causing the gums to become inflamed and to easily bleed. Bleeding may be a sign of a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist. It is a painless condition, but can induce serious complication.

Bleeding gums: See your dentist to determine why they are bleeding. You might have gum disease, or they might just need to be cleaned. You also probably need to improve your oral hygiene. Talk to your dentist or dental hygienist for advice.
