What causes bleeding gums, and how can you make it stop?<\/p>\n<p>Bleeding gums are usually a sign of gum disease. It causes irritation and inflammation in your gums. It is vital to take the necessary measures and treat gum disease before it leads to a more serious problem that can result in you losing your teeth. Read on to find out more about what causes bleeding gums and how to get your symptoms under control.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub-head\">What Causes Bleeding Gums?<\/h2>\n<p>There are a few common causes of bleeding gums:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Plaque Build-up<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>When plaque, a sticky film of bacteria, accumulates on your teeth, it can irritate and inflame your gums. If plaque isn\u2019t removed regularly by brushing and flossing, it hardens into tartar that can only be removed professionally. Both plaque and tartar accumulation can make your gums prone to bleeding.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Gingivitis<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/www.springvaledental.com.au\/blog\/gingivitis-causes-symptoms-and-treatment\/\">Gingivitis<\/a> is the most common cause of bleeding gums \u2014 mild gum inflammation caused by plaque build-up. When plaque sits on your teeth along the gum line, it irritates the gums and can cause them to become inflamed and bleed when disturbed. The earlier stage of gingivitis is reversible with improved oral care.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Vitamin C Deficiency<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Not getting enough vitamin C from your diet can cause your gums to weaken and bleed. Vitamin C is essential for healthy gums and other oral tissues.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Blood Thinners<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Medications like aspirin, clopidogrel, and warfarin that prevent blood clotting can also make your gums bleed more easily. Let your dentist know if you take any blood thinners.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Stress<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chronic stress affects your whole body, including your gum health. It may make you more susceptible to gingivitis and bleeding.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Pregnancy<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Hormone fluctuations <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springvaledental.com.au\/blog\/pregnancy-and-gum-disease\/\">during pregnancy<\/a> can increase inflammation and bleeding in your gums. Practising good oral hygiene is especially important now.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Smoking<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Chemicals in tobacco smoke can irritate your gums. Smoking is a major risk factor for gum disease.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Genetics<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Unfortunately, some people are just more prone to gum issues due to hereditary factors. Brushing and flossing diligently can help overcome a genetic predisposition.<\/p>\n<h2 class=\"sub-head\">How to Stop Bleeding Gums?<\/h2>\n<p>While your gums shouldn\u2019t normally bleed, taking steps to improve your oral health can get the bleeding under control quickly:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Brush gently<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Use a soft-bristled toothbrush, and be gentle as you brush near your gums. Don\u2019t scrub hard, which can tear delicate gum tissue.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Floss daily<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Flossing removes plaque and bacteria from between teeth that your toothbrush can\u2019t reach. Floss gently down without snapping it between tight teeth.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Rinse with antiseptic mouthwash.<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Swishing with an antiseptic, alcohol-free mouthwash can help kill bacteria and reduce gum inflammation.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Get a professional cleaning<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>See your dentist for a thorough <a href=\"https:\/\/www.springvaledental.com.au\/scale-and-clean.html\">professional cleaning<\/a> every 6 months to prevent plaque and tartar build-up.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Take vitamin C<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Up your vitamin C intake from citrus fruits, broccoli, tomatoes, and strawberries to strengthen your gum tissue or ask your doctor about a supplement.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Manage stress<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Try relaxation techniques, exercise, or talk to a counsellor to control chronic stress that\u2019s affecting your oral and overall health.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">Quit smoking<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Seek help from your doctor to stop smoking, which severely impacts gum health and healing.<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li class=\"sub-head\">\n<h3 class=\"sub-head\">See your dentist<\/h3>\n<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>If over-the-counter methods don\u2019t help within a few weeks, seek professional treatment.
