Bleeding Gums After Your 6-Month Cleaning?

Categories: Gum Disease

bleeding gums Casselton

Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are essential for optimal dental health. However, some dental patients in the Moorhead, Casselton, and Hillsboro area worry because their gums tend to bleed after a thorough cleaning.

Is this a problem? Well, it depends. If your gums bleed for a day or two after your cleaning, it isn’t really a problem. But, if the bleeding and tenderness lasts longer, you really need to return to your West Fargo dentist and discuss the possibility of periodontal disease.

Periodontal disease, or gum disease, occurs when plaque builds up along the gum line. You might also experience bad breath, painful chewing, and loose teeth.
