Bleeding gums are a sign of gingivitis, or inflammation of your gums.

Gingivitis is gum disease, its when plaque forms at the gum line. It causes irritation or redness.

This damage causes the gum to recede from the root of the tooth and makes teeth appear extra long in your smile.

Ask us how we can help you if you think you might need treatment.

Starting with a comprehensive examination, which often involves taking X-rays to visualize the internal structures of a tooth, is crucial because the correct diagnosis is essential for determining the appropriate treatment.

The range of treatments available can vary from doing nothing, removing debris that is caught between teeth, or applying a varnish to alleviate sensitivity in a specific area of a tooth. Conversely, treatment can also be as complicated as performing an extraction or root canal therapy.

It is recommended to consult a dentist for a professional evaluation if experiencing toothache, as there can be multiple underlying causes. Any tooth pain or discomfort is not considered normal, indicating an underlying issue that requires prompt assessment to identify and treat.

Consider the following questions when calling:

Is the tooth sensitive to cold or hot?
Is the tooth painful to bite on?
How long does the sensitivity last for?
Is the pain sharp or dull?
Does the pain start spontaneously?
