My gums bleed when I brush, should I be worried? Photo attached.
Bleeding is an early sign of gum disease and very treatable. We'd start with a deep clean and, if needed, laser therapy to get your gums healthy again.
Specialty
Laser-assisted therapy to protect the foundation of your smile.
Your gums and the bone beneath them are the foundation that holds your teeth in place. Gum disease (from early gingivitis to advanced periodontitis) is a leading cause of tooth loss, and treating it protects both your natural teeth and any restorations.
Treatment is staged to the severity: professional deep cleaning (scaling and root planing) removes plaque and tartar below the gum line; laser-assisted therapy disinfects and supports healing; and flap operations or regenerative procedures address advanced bone loss.
Where the gums have receded, soft-tissue grafting can cover exposed roots. Stable results depend on regular maintenance visits (typically every three months) which keep the disease under control long-term.
