Why do gums bleed?
Healthy gums should not bleed. If you notice blood when brushing or flossing, it is likely that you have inflammation caused by bacterial plaque accumulation. In Gavà, we see many cases that could have been prevented with good hygiene.
Gingivitis vs. Periodontitis
Gingivitis is the initial stage and is reversible. If not treated, it can advance to periodontitis, where bone is lost and teeth can move. Dra. Lorena is an expert in diagnosing and stopping this progression.
Treatment in Gavà
Depending on the severity, we may need to perform a professional cleaning or scaling and root planing (curettage). Do not let fear stop you; our treatments are gentle and effective.
Prevention Tips
- Brush your teeth at least twice a day.
- Use dental floss daily.
- Visit the dentist every 6 months for a check-up.
