Treat bleeding gums for lasting oral health
At Audubon Dental Center, we recognize that bleeding gums are more than just a minor annoyance — they can be a warning sign of gum disease or poor oral hygiene habits. Addressing this issue early is crucial to prevent more serious complications, such as gum recession or tooth loss.
Our Clinton bleeding gums dentists provide personalized care to treat bleeding gums effectively. We offer tailored treatment plans, from routine cleanings to more intensive care like scaling and root planing. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, we’re here to guide you on the path to healthier gums.
Treatment options for bleeding gums at Audubon Dental Center
Our practice provides comprehensive care designed to stop gum bleeding and restore gum health. We start with a detailed evaluation to determine the best course of action for your needs, focusing on eliminating plaque and improving your at-home care habits.
Here’s how we can help treat bleeding gums:
- Routine Cleanings — Regular cleanings are essential to remove plaque and tartar that irritate the gums, helping to stop bleeding and prevent infection.
- Deep Gum Therapy (Scaling and Root Planing) — For patients experiencing gum disease, we use deep cleaning techniques to target plaque buildup below the gumline, giving your gums a chance to heal and reducing inflammation.
- Oral Hygiene Coaching — We provide guidance on brushing and flossing techniques to keep your gums healthy, along with recommendations for products that promote gum health.
Why do gums bleed, and how can we help
Bleeding gums often result from plaque buildup, which causes inflammation and irritation. Left untreated, this can lead to gum disease and more severe oral health problems. Poor oral hygiene is a common cause, but other factors, such as hormonal changes or certain medications, can also contribute.
- Immediate Relief: Reduced gum irritation and bleeding
- Long-term Benefits: Healthier gums, lower risk of gum disease, and improved overall oral well-being
By treating the underlying cause of bleeding gums, we support your oral health and help you avoid future complications.
