Prevent bleeding gums with periodontal
It’s common for gums to bleed easily – something many people don’t take seriously. But this can be a big mistake.
By paying attention to some of the early signs, you can prevent small symptoms from developing into a more serious disease, which in the worst case can lead to tooth loss.
The gums are the soft tissues that surround the teeth. Healthy gums are close to the tooth, because in this way they limit the space in which bacteria can grow. It is not fluffy or swollen and is light to dark pink in colour.
It is important to pay attention to changes in your gums, as they can all be signs that your gums are not working well. Some signs to watch out for are that your gums start to bleed easily when you brush, feel sore or swollen, or become darker red than usual.
Plaque is the most common cause
There can be many reasons why your gums feel unwell and start to bleed easily. You may have changed your toothbrush to a stiffer one, or you are brushing too hard or for too long, or you are using medication that makes you more sensitive.
But one of the most common causes of bleeding gums is plaque, that is, the layer of bacteria that can form on and between the teeth if they are not cleaned well. After a while, the coating can cause inflammation and bleeding of the gums. If the gum becomes inflamed and recedes from the tooth, it becomes easier for bacteria to enter the cavity, which can exacerbate the situation. In the long run, this can lead to gingivitis, or tooth loss as it is also called.
