Bleeding Gums Treatment in Westchester, NY

Restore Your Gum Health with Expert, Gentle Care

Do your gums bleed when you brush or floss? While it may seem like a minor issue, bleeding gums are often an early warning sign of gum disease—a condition that, if left untreated, can lead to tooth loss and serious health problems.

At Westchester Family Dentistry & Implant Center, we specialize in identifying and treating gum problems before they progress. Our experienced dental team provides compassionate, effective care to restore your gum health and protect your smile.

Common Causes of Bleeding Gums

Bleeding gums can result from a variety of issues, including:

  • Gingivitis – The earliest stage of gum disease, caused by plaque and bacteria buildup along the gumline
  • Periodontitis – An advanced form of gum disease that can damage soft tissue and bone supporting the teeth
  • Poor Oral Hygiene – Inconsistent brushing or flossing can lead to inflammation and bleeding
  • Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, menopause, or hormonal medications can increase gum sensitivity
  • Medications – Certain blood thinners and other medications can affect gum tissue
  • Ill-fitting Dental Appliances – Dentures or braces that irritate the gums

If you’re experiencing bleeding gums regularly, don’t wait to seek help. Early diagnosis and treatment can prevent further complications.

Our Bleeding Gums Treatment Options

We use a personalized approach to treat bleeding gums, starting with a thorough evaluation. Depending on your condition, we may recommend:

  • Deep Cleaning (Scaling & Root Planing) – A non-surgical procedure that removes plaque and tartar from beneath the gumline and smooths the roots to encourage healing
  • Antibacterial Rinses & Local Antibiotics – Targeted treatments to eliminate infection-causing bacteria
  • Laser Gum Therapy – A minimally invasive, advanced option for removing diseased tissue and stimulating gum regeneration
  • Ongoing Periodontal Maintenance – Customized follow-up care to keep your gums healthy long-term
