Our Treatments

Treat bleeding, swollen, or irritated gums and prevent future issues

Do your gums bleed when you eat or while brushing or flossing your teeth? Bleeding or inflamed gums can be a sign of gingivitis (gum disease). Caused by a buildup of plaque around your gum line, gingivitis can worsen over time if the issue isn’t addressed. Fortunately, treating gum disease in its early stages is relatively simple and easy.

If you have bleeding, swollen, or sensitive gums, we’re here to help. Our knowledgeable, compassionate dentists will examine your smile to diagnose the source of the problem and help get your oral health back on track!

How to stop bleeding gums

Brush your teeth twice per day

Taking good care of your teeth with daily oral hygiene is necessary to treat bleeding gums and to prevent the issue in the future. We recommend brushing at least twice each day (morning and night) for at least two minutes. Make sure you don’t miss harder-to-reach areas of your mouth.

Floss your teeth daily

Taking the time to floss your teeth every day is one of the best ways to stop bleeding gums and restore the health of your entire smile. Flossing helps remove plaque that’s hiding just under your gum line.

Maintain a healthy lifestyle

Eating a nutritious diet and taking care of your overall health can prevent bleeding gums and other oral health issues. When possible, stay away from acidic or sugary foods and drinks and always avoid tobacco.

Get regular dental cleanings and exams

Left untreated, bleeding gums and gingivitis can lead to other issues, such as tooth decay and tooth loss. At Village Dental, we offer comprehensive dental care to patients of all ages and backgrounds, including routine cleanings, exams, and x-rays. Learn more.
