Bleeding Gums and Loose Teeth

Causes and treatment of bleeding gums and loose teeth in Dubai, UAE

Do you notice bleeding gums when you brush or floss your teeth? Are your permanent teeth starting to feel loose or shifting out of place? If so, you could be suffering from gum disease. Gum disease is one of the most common oral health problems among adults and the leading cause of permanent tooth loss. In the following article, the team at Precision Dental Clinic in Dubai, UAE will look at the common reasons for bleeding gums and solutions to stop the problem.

Reasons for bleeding gums

If you notice swollen, tender, bleeding gums, it is typically a sign of the first stage of gum disease known as gingivitis. This condition is a result of a buildup of bacteria and plaque due to ineffective oral hygiene. Other common signs of gingivitis include bright red gums, chronic bad breath, or receding gums.

Gingivitis is a reaction that your body’s immune system is trying to fight off the bacteria in order to promote healing. However, without removal of the plaque attached to the teeth, the disease will continue to worsen and begin to attack the bone. Without treatment, gum disease can lead to loss of permanent teeth.

Solutions for swollen, bleeding gums

The good news about gingivitis is that it can be reversed with prompt attention. The first step is to schedule a dental exam for a thorough examination and professional cleaning to remove hardened plaque from the mouth. In many cases, this along with an improvement in oral hygiene at home is all an individual will need to halt the progression of gingivitis.

If the condition has advanced, your dental team may recommend other treatments including a professional deep cleaning known as scaling and root planing, periodontal gum therapy or gum even surgery.

Stop bleeding gums before they start

One of the best things you can do to prevent swollen, bleeding gums is to develop a consistent oral hygiene routine. Make sure to brush your teeth at least twice daily and floss your teeth once each day to eliminate food particles and prevent plaque build-up. It’s also important to maintain routine dental check-ups so we can identify the early signs of gum disease while they are still easy to address.
