How to Stop Gum Bleeding
Do your gums bleed when you brush your teeth? Here’s what you should do right now to stop the bleeding — and when it’s time to see a dentist.
Bleeding gums are a common symptom of gingivitis or periodontitis. Home remedies can temporarily ease discomfort, but without treating the cause, the problem will keep coming back.
What helps:
1. Gentle brushing with a soft-bristled toothbrush reduces trauma and speeds up healing.
2. Antiseptic mouth rinses decrease inflammation and bacterial load.
3. Professional dental cleaning removes plaque and tartar — the main source of gum inflammation.
4. A dental or periodontist checkup helps identify the cause and provides proper treatment.
5. Balanced nutrition with vitamins C and K strengthens the gums.
Our clinic recommends not postponing the visit: regular checkups every 6 months prevent serious complications and tooth loss.
See your dentist at the first sign of bleeding — early treatment prevents periodontitis and keeps your teeth healthy.
