Bleeding Gums: Causes and Solutions

Bleeding gums are a more common problem than it seems, but many people ignore them until serious complications arise. Although it may seem harmless, this symptom is often a warning sign of periodontal problems or other systemic conditions.

Taking care of your gums not only improves oral health, but also prevents consequences such as tooth loss or infections. In this article, we will explore the main causes of bleeding gums, the available treatments, and the steps necessary to keep them healthy. To do this, we rely on the knowledge and experience of Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys.

Why do gums bleed?

Main causes of bleeding gums

Poor oral hygiene: The accumulation of bacterial plaque on the teeth and gums is the most common cause of bleeding.
Periodontal diseases: Gingivitis and periodontitis are the initial and advanced stages, respectively, of diseases that affect the gums.
Nutritional deficiencies: Lack of vitamins such as C and K can weaken gums.
Hormonal changes: During pregnancy or menopause, gums may become more sensitive and prone to bleeding.
Incorrect flossing or aggressive brushing: These practices can damage gum tissue.

Warning signs of bleeding gums

It is important to be alert to the following symptoms:

  • Swollen or red gums.
  • Persistent bad breath.
  • Pain or sensitivity in the gums.
  • Receding gums, leaving the roots of the teeth exposed.

If you notice any of these signs, see a specialist immediately. Dr. Tarsys Loayza Roys points out that the sooner you get professional help, the less invasive the treatment will be. Timely care also results in less money and time spent to achieve a definitive solution. Available treatments for bleeding gums
