Why Your Gums Bleed - Bracknell Dentist Gives You 4 Reasons !

 1. You Have Gingivitis - When plaque and bacteria build up on your teeth, your gums can become inflamed.  Painless and virtually symptom free, gingivitis is easily missed unless you notice bloodstains on your toothbrush or dental floss.  Left untreated, gingivitis can lead to periodontal disease, a critical oral condition characterised by the destruction of gum tissue and tooth loss.  “Gingivitis is almost 100 percent preventable,” says Dr Teresa. Meticulous  brushing and flossing to remove plaque from the teeth in addition to regular visits to Appledore can keep bleeding gums and gingivitis at bay.
 
2. You Smoke - Smokers are at a higher risk of experiencing bleeding gums. “Smoking tends to cause an increase in periodontal disease for various reasons,” says Dr Teresa.  Inhaled smoke can leave irritating toxins on your teeth that can be difficult to remove through oral hygiene.  Smokers can have a compromised immune response to infection and issues with proper healing and oxygenation of the blood supply – all factors that negatively influence your gums. Quit smoking and your gums will thank you.

3. You Have Poor Oral Hygiene Habits - Brushing too hard, not brushing at all, forgetting to floss – if you’re not committed to a regular and careful oral hygiene routine your gums will suffer the negative consequences. “Bacteria in  plaque uses food debris to produce acids that can affect both your gums and teeth,” explains Dr Teresa.
4. You’re On Certain Medications - Some prescription drugs can raise your risk for bleeding gums. Some blood pressure medications and immuno-suppressants can cause gum inflammation and bleeding whilst other drugs can leave you with a dry mouth – another trigger for gum problems. “There are  over 400 medications that can affect the amount of salivary flow in the mouth including antihistamines, sedatives, anti-depressants and anti-psychotics,” says Dr Teresa. Saliva is needed to wash away food debris and neutralise gum irritating acids that are produced by bacteria. “If you lose your salivary flow, it’s important to have good oral hygiene because your mouth isn’t getting the beneficial effects of the saliva,” says Dr Teresa.
