Gingivitis: 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. This is a serious problem, which should be checked by a dentist. The good news is that this condition is curable. Call your dentist today!

Bleeding gums: Bleeding gums are usually an early sign of gingivitis and related to poor oral hygiene (inadequate brushing and flossing). Hormonal changes and stress are two things that can predispose you to more than a normal response to local irritants such as plaque and food debris. Some medications can also contribute to increased bleeding. If improved oral hygiene does not solve the problem, see DDS, & MD?
