Bleeding Gums Treatment
Gentle, Effective Care for Healthier Gums.
Understanding the Signs of Gum Trouble
Bleeding gums are one of the earliest—and most overlooked—signs that something isn’t right with your oral health. While occasional bleeding may happen after aggressive brushing, consistent gum bleeding often points to inflammation or infection beneath the surface. At Science of Smiles, Dr. Lee helps patients identify what’s causing their gums to bleed and creates personalized treatment plans to stop the progression of gum disease before it leads to pain, recession, or tooth loss.
Common Causes of Bleeding Gums
Bleeding gums can result from a number of causes, including plaque buildup, gingivitis, dry mouth, hormonal changes, and brushing too hard. More serious cases may involve gum disease or contributing health factors like diabetes or tobacco use. If your gums bleed regularly, it’s important to schedule an evaluation. At Science of Smiles, we focus on diagnosing the cause, not just treating the symptom—so you get lasting results.
Our Approach to Treatment
Dr. Lee begins with a thorough gum health evaluation, including periodontal probing, recession measurements, and a close examination of plaque, inflammation, and gum tissue. For minor cases, professional cleanings and better at-home care may be enough. If signs of gum disease are present, we may recommend non-surgical deep cleanings like scaling and root planing. We also address dry mouth and other risk factors that may contribute to ongoing gum irritation.
