Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums are often an early sign of gum disease or irritation, and addressing the issue promptly is crucial to maintaining your oral health. At Breeze, we offer comprehensive care to identify the root cause of bleeding gums and provide effective treatment to restore your smile’s health and comfort.

How Bleeding Gums Work

Gums may bleed due to factors such as plaque buildup, gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis), aggressive brushing, hormonal changes, or certain medications. While occasional bleeding may not seem alarming, persistent bleeding is often a sign of an underlying issue that requires attention. Our team will evaluate your gum health, recommend the best course of action, and provide tips to improve your oral hygiene routine.
