Bleeding gums: You are doing the right thing, namely seeing a doctor (hopefully a dentist) for an evaluation and the cause of your bleeding gums. There's nothing to be scared about. Just begin the appointment by letting the doctor know that you are apprehensive and why. Your dentist is there to help diagnose your problem and get you on the path to good dental health.

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