What Causes Bleeding or Swollen Gums?

Bleeding or swelling in the gums can occur due to a variety of reasons, including:

  • Poor oral hygiene leading to plaque buildup
  • Gingivitis, the earliest stage of gum disease
  • Periodontitis, an advanced stage of gum infection
  • Vitamin deficiencies, particularly Vitamin C and K
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy or menstruation
  • Ill-fitting dentures or dental appliances
  • Aggressive brushing or flossing

Identifying the underlying cause is key to providing the right treatment.

Signs You Shouldn't Ignore

If you experience any of the following symptoms, it’s time to schedule a visit:

  • Gums that bleed during brushing or flossing
  • Persistent gum swelling or tenderness
  • Red or purple coloration of the gums

Our Approach to Gum Treatment

At The Dental Specialists, we take a patient-centric, evidence-based approach to treating bleeding or swollen gums:

  • Comprehensive Examination: Our periodontists perform a thorough evaluation using clinical and digital diagnostic tools to assess gum health and detect any signs of periodontal disease.
  • Professional Cleaning & Scaling: We remove plaque and tartar deposits that cause inflammation, using advanced ultrasonic scalers and hand instruments for deep cleaning.

Frequently Asked Questions

Get Every Single Answer About Bleeding Gums

  • Is it normal for gums to bleed when brushing or flossing?

    No, it’s not normal. If your gums bleed during brushing or flossing, it may be a sign of inflammation or gum disease. It's important to consult a dentist to determine the cause and begin treatment early.

  • Can gum disease be reversed?

    In its early stage (gingivitis), gum disease is often reversible with professional cleaning and improved oral hygiene. However, advanced gum disease (periodontitis) requires more extensive treatment and may not be completely reversible, though it can be managed.

  • How are bleeding or swollen gums treated?

    Treatment depends on the severity and cause. It may include professional cleaning, scaling and root planing (deep cleaning), antibiotic therapy, laser treatment, or periodontal surgery in more advanced cases.

  • What happens if bleeding gums are left untreated?

    Ignoring bleeding gums can lead to progression of gum disease, causing gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss. It may also be linked to systemic health issues like diabetes and heart disease.

  • Can pregnancy cause swollen or bleeding gums?

    Yes. Hormonal changes during pregnancy can increase blood flow to the gums and make them more sensitive, leading to a condition called pregnancy gingivitis. Regular dental care during pregnancy is essential.
