Bleeding when brushing is often a sign of gingivitis — inflamed gum edges due to plaque and sometimes smoking, hormones, or rough fillings. A professional scaling (teeth cleaning) to remove hard tartar, plus good home brushing and interdental cleaning, usually reverses it.
When it is more than gingivitis
If gums recede, teeth loosen, or pockets deepen, periodontitis may be present. That can affect implant planning long term. Smokers, diabetics, and people who skip check-ups for years are at higher risk. Our periodontics-led dental unit plans scaling, local therapy, and follow-up.
Pair gum care with diabetes control if you have it — the mouth and the rest of the body are linked. Call 94668-03877 for a dental OPD slot in Tohana or use Contact.
