Bleeding Gums Emergency Dentist

Bleeding Gums During Pregnancy 

Bleeding gums is a common issue during pregnancy. This is generally due to hormonal changes in the body, but can be exacerbated by the vomiting that comes with morning sickness or other routine changes. Generally, bleeding gums during pregnancy is not critical and does not need emergency care, but you should always speak to your doctor or dentist if it happens to you while pregnant.  

What Deficiency Causes Bleeding Gums? 

Bleeding gums can also be caused by some vitamin deficiencies. The most notable of these deficiencies are Vitamin C and Vitamin K. Both can lead to swollen, bleeding gums, and if left untreated, lead to the loss of teeth. These deficiencies should always be diagnosed by a doctor. 

Causes of these deficiencies can include smoking, alcohol abuse, certain diets, and specific medical conditions such as Crohn’s disease. If you think you may have a vitamin deficiency, speak to your doctor immediately. 

When To Seek Immediate Dental Care for Bleeding Gums in Las Vegas

Certain symptoms can elevate bleeding gums to an emergency requiring immediate attention from a dentist.

This includes:

• Severe, persistent, or uncontrollable bleeding
• Bleeding accompanied by significant pain or swelling
• Bleeding following dental surgery 
• Bleeding followed by trauma or an injury to the mouth
• Signs of infection:
  • Pus 
  • Fever 
  • Severe bad breath
  • A high body temperature
• Loose teeth alongside bleeding gums
• And a sudden onset of severe bleeding without obvious cause

If you are experiencing any of the above, contact us immediately.

You should also be concerned if bleeding lasts more than a week, your gums are receding from the teeth, you have chronic bad breath, or if your teeth are becoming more sensitive.

Role of Good Oral Hygiene in Avoiding Dental Bleeding 

The most important bleeding gums treatment is prevention. Stopping problems before they start is cheaper, faster, and less painful than treating them after they have become a problem. 

Unless directed by a dentist, you should brush your teeth twice daily, floss once in the evening, and have regular checkups every six months. 

There are also some specific toothpastes for bleeding gums and mouthwash for bleeding gums that can help manage mild gingivitis. You should look for one specifically endorsed by the American Dental Association. These products, however, should never take the place of professional diagnosis and treatment, and should always be used to support a good oral hygiene routine that includes flossing.
