How to cure bleeding gums
Bleeding gums usually improve when plaque and tartar are removed and the underlying gum inflammation is treated.
The short answer
Bleeding usually comes from inflamed gingiva where plaque collects along the gumline or between teeth.
What is the direct answer?
What does this question mean?
Brush gently with a soft brush and fluoride toothpaste, clean between teeth, and arrange an examination because tartar needs professional removal.
What can you do next?
Seek care for persistent, spontaneous, heavy bleeding or bleeding with loose teeth, pus, pain, swelling, or fever.
When should you seek dental care?
Ask whether the cause is gingivitis, periodontitis, trauma, or medication-related and whether scaling is needed.
