Bleeding gums can happen for several reasons, but recurring bleeding should not simply be ignored. Plaque buildup and gingivitis are common causes, while brushing or flossing technique and other health factors may also contribute. If your gums regularly bleed, appear swollen or tender, or are beginning to pull away from your teeth, a dental evaluation can help identify the cause.  At Saucon Valley Dental, we provide comprehensive dental care, including periodontal gum therapy , for patients in Hellertown, PA, and surrounding communities. Addressing changes in your gums early can help protect the tissues and bone that support your teeth.
