Bleeding Gums – Gum Disease Treatment

Healthy Gums, Healthier Smile

Bleeding Gums Are Not Normal

Bleeding, swollen or tender gums can be an early sign of gum inflammation or gum disease. Gum disease may also develop without obvious discomfort, so early assessment is important.

At Tooth Shine Dental, we carefully assess your gums, measure periodontal pockets and identify areas that may require additional care.
