Frequently Asked Questions About Bleeding Gums or Mouth
When is gum bleeding an emergency?
Seek emergency care if bleeding doesn't stop after 15-20 minutes of pressure, if it follows an injury, or if it's accompanied by swelling, fever, or pain. Persistent unexplained bleeding also warrants a prompt visit.
What causes gums to bleed?
The most common cause is gum disease from plaque buildup. Other causes include brushing too hard, medications (like blood thinners), pregnancy, vitamin deficiencies, or injury. A dental exam can pinpoint the cause.
How do I stop my gums from bleeding at home?
Apply gentle pressure with clean gauze for 15-20 minutes. Rinse with warm salt water. If bleeding is from an injury, use a cold compress on the outside of your mouth. If it doesn't stop, come see us right away.
Is it normal for gums to bleed when I brush?
Occasional light bleeding can happen, but regular bleeding when brushing is a sign of gum inflammation or early gum disease. Don't stop brushing - instead, schedule a cleaning and exam so we can help.
Can children have bleeding gum emergencies?
Yes. Kids can experience gum bleeding from sports injuries, falls, or early gum disease. If your child has persistent bleeding or a mouth injury, bring them in for a same-day visit. We're great with kids!
