What Treatment Does for You
1
Spot Gum Disease Early
Bleeding is frequently the first sign. Acting on it can keep gingivitis from advancing into periodontitis and eventual tooth loss.
2
Keep Your Teeth in Place
Advanced gum disease erodes the bone and tissue supporting your teeth. Treating it now protects them for the long haul.
3
Look After Your Whole Body
Research has linked gum disease to wider health concerns, including heart disease and diabetes. Healthy gums support more than your smile.
4
Ease Soreness and Bad Breath
Bleeding often comes with tenderness, swelling, or an unpleasant odor. Treating the cause clears up those symptoms rather than masking them.

Bleeding Gums FAQs for Wells Branch Patients
Is it normal for gums to bleed when I brush?
Occasionally, yes, especially if you’ve just started flossing or have been brushing harder than usual. Regular bleeding, however, usually signals inflammation or gum disease and should be examined rather than ignored.
When should I see a dentist?
Book a visit if your gums bleed often, look swollen or tender, are pulling away from your teeth, or come with persistent bad breath. Heavy or unexplained bleeding calls for prompt attention, so call us at (512) 961-6200.
Can bleeding gums heal without treatment?
Mild inflammation can improve with better brushing and flossing. But if plaque and tartar have built up below the gum line, a professional cleaning is typically required to resolve it.
Does treatment hurt?
A standard cleaning is usually comfortable. If you need a deeper cleaning such as scaling and root planing, we can numb the area to keep you comfortable. Cost depends on how involved the treatment is: a routine cleaning generally costs less than a deep cleaning or infection care, and we can discuss payment options at your visit.
Could bleeding gums signal something more serious?
They can. Gum disease is the most common cause, but persistent or unexplained bleeding is occasionally linked to other health conditions. If it doesn’t improve, or you notice heavy bleeding, get it evaluated promptly.
