can you treat bleeding gums
Q. Hi Komal,I am looking for some sort of treatment for my bleeding gums.My gums bleed everytime I brush my teeth although its not painful. Also, I need to get my teeth pushed back (as I am buck-toothed) and I have been advised that I need to have my gums treated first.Can you pls advise how do I go about getting all this done and the costs involved.
A. Thank you for your question.
The advice you have been given is correct. The gums may be bleeding due to gingivitis or gum disease. If it is gingivitis this is easily resolved with a few visits to the hygienist. If it is gum disease this does take longer to treat because the disease is more serious however after some gum treatment with the hygienist this will also solve. The teeth can then be pushed back with braces or they can be reshaped and veneers can be placed o the teeth.
The best thing to do is to have a consultation with a cosmetic/restorative dentist that has a hygienist as part of the team so that you can be told all of your options.
If you are within travelling distance of my practice I would be happy to see you for a consultation.The practice phone number is 01296 624163
Kind regards

Im 21 and haven’t been to a dentist in 5 years, im starting to have problems with the gums above my two top front teeth. They are not red, they are pink but are very painful an have been bleeding for months, what are the possible causes of this and what are the treatments available? I have tried salty water as well as a range of mouthwashes including corsodyl, retardex and oraldine but they keep bleeding every brush, and the pain whilst brushing is very intense.
You probably need them thoroughly cleaned with a hygienist and dentist, pop back to your dentist ASAP
