Bleeding Gums Colorado Springs

Do you suffer from bleeding gums on a frequent basis? What most patients don’t know is that bleeding gums are a sign of gum disease, a serious dental condition that often goes undiagnosed and untreated for months, if not years. Before any type of diagnosis can be made, Dr. Hall, a dentist in Colorado Springs, will examine your gums and mouth thoroughly. Often times bleeding gums are the result of a build-up of excess plaque and other bacteria on the teeth which then leads to gingivitis, a type of gum disease. If the build-up of bacteria becomes so bad, the plaque often hardens into tartar, which then builds-up as well and causes periodontitis.

However, a true diagnosis cannot be given without proper examination by Dr. Hall to either rule out or diagnose your bleeding gums accordingly. Bleeding gums can be the sign of all sorts of other conditions including brushing too hard, too harsh of a toothbrush, hormonal changes, improper flossing, a lack of Vitamin K, the use of certain medications, and others.
