Bleeding Gums? Causes, Treatment and How to Stop It | Expert Gum Care in Harrow | Helping patients across Harrow and the surrounding areas

 Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? While occasional bleeding might not seem like a big deal, persistent bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease, poor oral hygiene, or an underlying health issue. At Neem Dental Clinic in Harrow, we specialise in gum disease treatment, professional dental hygiene services, and preventative care to keep your gums healthy and your smile confident.

Why Are My Gums Bleeding?

Bleeding gums can result from several factors, including:

1. Gum Disease (Gingivitis & Periodontitis)

The most common cause of bleeding gums is gum disease, starting with gingivitis, which can progress to periodontitis if left untreated. Symptoms include:

• Red, swollen, or tender gums
• Bleeding during brushing or flossing
• Bad breath or a bad taste in the mouth 

At our Harrow, London dental clinic, our dental hygienists provide deep cleaning treatments like scale and polish to remove plaque and tartar buildup, preventing gum disease from worsening.

2. Poor Oral Hygiene

Inconsistent brushing and flossing can lead to plaque buildup, causing irritation and inflammation. Our expert dental hygiene team in Harrow, London offers professional cleanings and oral health guidance to help maintain healthy gums.

2. Brushing Too Hard

Using a hard-bristled toothbrush or applying too much pressure can damage your gums, causing them to bleed. We recommend switching to a soft-bristled toothbrush and following a gentle brushing technique.

3. Vitamin Deficiencies(Vitamin C & K)

A lack of essential vitamins can weaken gum tissue. We advise a balanced diet rich in fresh fruits, vegetables, and leafy greens to support your gum health.

4. Smoking & Lifestyle Factors

Smoking weakens your immune system, making it harder for your body to fight off gum infections. If you’re a smoker experiencing bleeding gums, consider quitting and scheduling a professional gum health check-up at Neem Dental Clinic in Harrow.

5. Hormonal Changes(Pregnancy & Menopause)

Hormonal fluctuations can make gums more sensitive and prone to bleeding and inflammation. Our team provides specialized dental care for pregnant women to ensure optimal oral health during pregnancy.
