Do you wake up to a blood-tinged pillow? Do your gums bleed while brushing? Or when biting into an apple? It's time you visited the dentist!! Causes of Gum Bleeding: The most common cause is lack of hygiene, leading to build-up of plaque and tartar. This leads to irritation and inflammation of the gums, making them bleed easily. If not treated in time, it can lead to bone loss and recession around the teeth. In advanced cases, the tooth becomes mobile and may even fall out. Other causes are aggressive toothbrushing, ill-fitting dental appliances and restorations, smoking and mouth breathing. Systemic causes are vitamin deficiencies, hormonal changes, blood thinners, blood disorders and diseases like diabetes Book an appointment to treat your bleeding gums now!
