Will my dentist be able to tell if i have bleeding gums?

Bleeding gums: Your dentist will do a periodontal ( gum) examination as part of a comprehensive dental exam. They will check the gum pockets and this is when they will see bleeding. Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation and this may range from mild gingivitis to more advanced gum disease.

Bleeding Gums: Yes. Your dentist should be able to determine this on examination of your mouth.

Certainly!: Your dentist & your hygienist will be able to determine if you have gingivitis. Gingivitis is a very common & mild form of gum (periodontal) disease that causes irritation, redness & swelling (inflammation) of your gums. The most common cause of gingivitis is poor oral hygiene. Good oral habits, such as regular professional checkups & daily brushing and flossing, can help prevent gum disease.
