What If I Have Bleeding Gums?
In this video, Dr. Robert Harvey explains why bleeding gums should prompt an immediate dental visit, focusing on the risks of untreated gum disease.
If you notice bleeding gums, please don’t hesitate to contact us immediately. Bleeding gums are not normal and often signal an underlying issue, typically gum disease. This could be due to various reasons, including something as simple as burning your mouth or something more serious like periodontal disease.
Gum disease is a serious condition that progressively destroys the gum and bone around your teeth. Once lost, these tissues cannot be naturally regenerated. Delaying treatment only exacerbates the problem, leading to further loss of gum and bone. If too much is lost, options for restoration become limited, and the effects can be irreversible.
So, if you’re experiencing bleeding gums or if it’s been a long time since your last dental visit and you suspect gum issues, please call us. We take this very seriously and are here to provide the help and treatment you need to maintain your oral health.
