Why Are My Gums Bleeding? And What Should I Do About It?

Bleeding gums should never be ignored. Noticing spots of blood when you brush your teeth may not seem a big deal but the problem is in many cases an early warning sign of gum disease. Left untreated, a gum infection will invariably escalate to a serious, painful condition that may even require dental surgery.Periodontitis is the medical name for diseases that attack the soft tissue and bones supporting the teeth and jaw. The initial stage manifests itself as gingivitis, an inflammation of the gums caused by a build-up of bacteria-laden plaque and tartar on the surface of teeth near the gum line.
