Bleeding gums is common for the millions of Americans who are experiencing gum problems. Amongst these gum problems are gingivitis and periodontal disease. Most of the time, it is the result of the improper removal of plaques in the gum line. There are some other serious medical conditions associated with the gums bleeding such as diabetes, leukemia, platelet disorders, heart disease and pancreatic cancer. There is a need to undergo checkup at first sign of bleeding gums so dentists may be able to know what is causing it. If the result isn't as severe, the patient may undergo minor treatments such as dental cleaning. If the doctor was able to determine that it is something related to a more serious case, preventive measures are done.

There are signs which indicate a person is having a periodontal disease. Amongst these are: having a bad breath or bad taste which are hard to get rid of, swollen and bleeding gums, difficulty in chewing, sensitive teeth, gums which are unusually unattached to the wall of the teeth, unstable fitting of the teeth whenever biting and unstable fitting of partial dentures. Smoking, diabetes, poor oral hygiene and stress are amongst the reason of the increased risk of periodontal disease. There are prevention and treatment for people going through this disease. They are advised to at least visit their dentists at least once or twice a year for dental cleaning. Daily oral hygiene is also advised. Whenever a person brushes or flosses, it decreases the possibility of bacteria build up in the mouth.

Keeping a clean mouth and clean teeth is healthy and allows for easier eating. It can also increase confidence when smiling, laughing, and talking.
