Regular dental check-ups and cleanings are vital for good dental health. However, some dental patients worry because their gums tend to bleed after a thorough cleaning. It may be a sign of gum disease.
If your gums bleed for a day or two after your cleaning, it isn’t really a problem. But if the bleeding and tenderness last longer, you really need to return to our office so we can look for any signs of gum disease.
Gum disease arises when plaque builds up along the gum line. You might also experience bad breath, painful chewing, and loose teeth.
At Thompson & Frey, avoiding gum disease is just one of the many essential goals we have for our patients. Along with ideal dental health, we also seek to give our patients the beautiful smiles they desire through cosmetic dentistry.
Gum disease is never to be taken lightly; it is the leading cause of tooth loss in adults. At Thompson & Frey Cosmetic and Family Dentistry in Owensboro, we provide gum disease treatment. Other services include family dentistry. Schedule an appointment with us today.
