Don't suffer in pain - call now for immediate care.
Call (719) 413-8133 before you leave home — the front desk walks you through 20-minute continuous gauze pressure and a moist black tea bag if you have one. When you pull into the lot next to Target on Academy, walk straight in with pressure still held; you will not be asked to fill out paperwork before we see the site.

Anticoagulant reconciliation at check-in
At the front desk we document warfarin, apixaban, aspirin, or any antiplatelet agent by bottle or pharmacy label before you are roomed. If your INR or last dose timing matters for the plan, our team contacts your prescribing physician from the Colorado Springs office before hemostatic agents are placed.
3
Spanish-language handoff between front and chair
If your intake call was in Spanish, the same language carries through to the operatory — our bilingual assistants (Leslie and Janessa are named in patient reviews) translate clinical findings and home-care instructions in real time so nothing is lost between the front desk and the chair.

Why Bleeding Gums or Mouth Can't Wait — Colorado Springs
Dental emergencies get worse by the hour. The sooner you act, the better the outcome.
✓
Persistent oral bleeding that does not stop after 20 minutes of firm continuous gauze pressure is no longer a home-care situation — it needs in-office isolation, irrigation, and a hemostatic agent such as oxidized cellulose, gelatin sponge, or topical thrombin.
✓
A post-extraction socket that keeps re-bleeding usually means the clot has been disrupted and the socket needs curettage and re-packing; repeated spitting, rinsing, or straw use in the first 24 hours makes this worse and delays healing.
✓
Spontaneous gingival bleeding with no trauma is often the first visible sign of an underlying periodontal process or a systemic contributor — anticoagulant therapy, a platelet disorder, or uncontrolled hypertension — and needs evaluation before it recurs.

Rodeo Dental Colorado Springs • Bleeding Gums or Mouth for all ages
What's Included in Your Bleeding Gums or Mouth — Colorado Springs
Here's what to expect when you visit Rodeo Dental in Colorado Springs, CO for bleeding gums or mouth:
1.
Site isolation and saline irrigation
The bleeding site is isolated with gauze and retraction, then irrigated with saline so the source — gingival margin, extraction socket, or soft-tissue laceration — can be identified under direct vision.
2.
20-minute continuous gauze compression
Folded gauze is placed directly over the source and held with firm continuous pressure for a full 20 minutes without lifting to check; in the operatory we time this rather than guess, because interrupted pressure is the most common reason home attempts fail.
3.
Oxidized cellulose, gelatin sponge, or topical thrombin
If pressure alone does not achieve hemostasis, a local hemostatic agent — oxidized cellulose, absorbable gelatin sponge, or topical thrombin — is placed directly at the bleeding site and held in position.
4.
Socket curettage and re-packing for extraction bleeds
A post-extraction site that is still bleeding is curetted clean of the disrupted clot, re-packed with a hemostatic material, and secured with a suture where the socket anatomy allows.
5.
Suture placement across bleeding gingival margins
Where a gingival flap, laceration, or open socket will not hold a clot on its own, interrupted sutures are placed across the margin to hold tissues in apposition until a stable clot forms.
6.
Systemic-cause screen and prescriber referral
Anticoagulant use (warfarin, apixaban, aspirin), platelet disorders, and uncontrolled hypertension are documented; when a systemic cause is driving the bleed, the patient is referred to their primary physician or hematologist before additional dental work is scheduled.

Frequently Asked Questions About Bleeding Gums or Mouth
Where is your Colorado Springs office and where do I park for a bleeding-gums visit?
We're at 5150 North Academy Boulevard, Colorado Springs, CO 80918 — in the shopping center right next to the Target on Academy, south of Briargate Parkway. Park close to the entrance and walk straight in with gauze still pressed to the site; the front desk will route you back immediately.
Can I be seen today if my gums won't stop bleeding?
Call (719) 413-8133 as soon as pressure isn't controlling the bleed. Saturday hours run 8:00 AM to 2:00 PM, weekday hours are 9:00 AM to 6:00 PM Monday/Wednesday/Thursday and 8:00 AM to 5:00 PM Tuesday/Friday. We're closed Sunday — for an active bleed outside hours, go to the nearest ER.
Do you take commercial PPO plans from Colorado Springs employers?
Yes — we're in-network with most commercial PPO plans carried by Colorado Springs employers, including spouse-of-employee coverage. Bring both primary and secondary cards to the front desk and we'll verify benefits before any work starts.
I'm on a blood thinner — do I need to stop it before coming in?
Do not stop warfarin, apixaban, or aspirin on your own. Bring the bottle or a photo of the label, tell the clinical team at check-in, and we'll coordinate with your prescribing physician before any bleeding-control procedure that could require adjustment.

What makes our Colorado Springs office unique for bleeding gums or mouth
Bleeding Gums or Mouth for Colorado Springs Families
Bleeding gums or a bleeding mouth doesn't wait for a convenient hour, and at 5150 North Academy Boulevard — right next to the Target on Academy in the Briargate corridor north of Austin Bluffs Parkway — our Colorado Springs team handles these visits the same day whenever the schedule allows. Families driving in from Rockrimmon, Pine Creek, and the neighborhoods east of I-25 around Powers get here in under fifteen minutes, and patients coming down from the Air Force Academy exit off I-25 find us a straight shot south on Academy Boulevard. The dry air at 6,035 feet of elevation in Colorado Springs is a quiet contributor to gingival irritation and post-extraction re-bleeds — mucosa dehydrates faster here than at sea level, and anticoagulated patients on warfarin or apixaban feel it first. Our bilingual front desk takes the call in English or Spanish and gets gauze pressure instructions started before you're even in the parking lot.
