Yes.: Bleeding gums indicates rhe presence of gingivitis (gum disease). You should make an appointment to see your dentist. If you are overdue for a routine hygiene appointment, you should go as soon as possible. If you are not overdue, you should be evaluated to see if your current hygiene schedule is not sufficient, or if your periodontal (gum) condition is worsening.

You should: Bleeding gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, gum disease. The bacteria with mucus 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.

Bleeding gums: Healthy gums do not bleed. Bleeding is from an infectioun or from an injury. See a dentist ASAP and have your gums evaluated for gingivitis or periodontitis.
