Why Bleeding Gums May Lead to Tooth Loss

If you’re noticing that your gums bleed when you brush your teeth or floss, you shouldn’t ignore the problem.

The Warnings

Bleeding gums can be an early warning sign of a much more serious problem. Untreated, bleeding gums may eventually lead to a worse condition that causes the loss of your teeth.
What to Look For

Even a little blood in your sink when you spit during brushing can be an indication of gingivitis.
The Cause

Gingivitis is plaque building up on your teeth, causing swelling that creates pockets in the gum line. Bacteria gets into these pockets.
The Risks

The body’s immune system overreacts to the bacterial toxins and fights back. The reaction attacks the soft tissue and bone that supports teeth. Left untreated, this may cause teeth to loosen and fall out.
Get Ahead of Gum Disease

Brushing twice daily with parodontax^TM can effectively treat bleeding gums and gingivitis.
