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
