Bleeding gums are a common dental problem that can be a sign of underlying gum disease or other oral health issues. At Funda Sarıkaya Dental Clinic in Oran, Çankaya, Ankara, we provide comprehensive diagnosis and treatment for bleeding gums, helping you maintain healthy gums and a confident smile.

What Causes Bleeding Gums?

Several factors can contribute to bleeding gums, including:

• Gingivitis: This is the early stage of gum disease, caused by plaque buildup on teeth. It's the most common cause of bleeding gums.

• Periodontitis: If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease that can damage the soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth.

• Poor Oral Hygiene: Inadequate brushing and flossing allow plaque to accumulate, leading to gum inflammation and bleeding.

• Aggressive Brushing: Brushing too hard or using a hard-bristled toothbrush can irritate the gums and cause them to bleed.

• Certain Medications: Some medications, such as blood thinners, can increase the risk of bleeding gums.

• Nutritional Deficiencies: Vitamin C and K deficiencies can contribute to gum bleeding.

• Hormonal Changes: Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, puberty, or menopause can make gums more sensitive and prone to bleeding.

• Smoking: Smoking weakens the immune system and makes it harder for gums to heal, increasing the risk of gum disease and bleeding.

• Treatment for Bleeding Gums at Funda Sarıkaya Dental Clinic:

• Our experienced dentists will perform a thorough examination to determine the cause of your bleeding gums and recommend the appropriate treatment. Treatment options may include:

• Medications: In some cases, antibiotics or antimicrobial mouthwashes may be prescribed.

• Periodontal Surgery: For advanced periodontitis, surgical procedures may be necessary to restore damaged tissue and bone.
