Contact dentist firs: When was the last time you had a dental checkup? It is very difficult to ascertain without a clinical and possible radiographic examination. It may be as simple as you need an excellent cleaning or you may need to see your MD.

See a dentist ASAP: Bleeding gums in the morning 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.
