Bleeding Gums

If you have noticed your gums are regularly bleeding when you brush your teeth, it is important that you see your dentist for a check-up and your dental hygienist to reduce the likelihood of gum disease.

At Blandy House preventative care is gold standard and we encourage regular oral health appointments to prevent gum disease. We offer an efficient recall system to help you prioritise your dental wellness.

Gum disease occurs when plaque builds up on the teeth and causes infections. Risk factors for this disease include:

~ Poor oral health habits with excessive plaque and tartar build-up

~ Smoking and chewing tobacco

~ Hormonal changes during pregnancy 

~ A weakened immune system 

~ Some prescription medications 

We recommend getting your teeth cleaned regularly with the hygienist and implementing a good oral hygiene routine at home to reduce the likelihood of gum disease.
