Bleeding gums may seem harmless, but they can signal early gum disease. At The Smile Makers Dental Clinic, Khar West, Mumbai, we often remind patients: healthy gums should not bleed.
Causes
- Gingivitis (early gum disease).
- Plaque and tartar buildup.
- Hard brushing technique.
- Vitamin deficiencies.
Why It Matters
Untreated gum bleeding can lead to periodontitis — causing tooth mobility or even tooth loss.
What You Should Do
- Brush gently with a soft-bristle brush.
- Floss daily.
- Book a professional cleaning with us.
Dr. Mohit Bodhwani ensures gum health is restored early, preventing complications.
Final Thoughts
Bleeding gums are not “normal.” The earlier you act, the better your chances of keeping your smile healthy.
