Item description

Bleeding gums can be a sign that you have or may develop gum disease. Ongoing gum bleeding may be due to plaque buildup on the teeth. It can also be a sign of a serious medical condition.

Causes

The main cause of bleeding gums is the buildup of plaque at the gum line. This may lead to a condition called gingivitis, or inflamed gums.

Plaque that is not removed will harden into tartar. This may lead to increased bleeding and a more advanced form of gum and jaw bone disease known as periodontitis.

Other causes of bleeding gums include:

Any bleeding disorders
Brushing too hard
Hormonal changes during pregnancy
Ill-fitting dentures or other dental appliances
Improper flossing
Infection, which can be either in a tooth or the gum
Leukemia, a type of blood cancer
Scurvy, a vitamin C deficiency
Use of blood thinners
Vitamin K deficiency
When to Contact a Medical Professional

Consult your provider if:

The bleeding is severe or long-term (chronic)
Your gums continue to bleed even after treatment
You have other unexplained symptoms with the bleeding
