Treatment for Bleeding Gums

If you have bleeding gums, it is important to seek professional treatment from a dentist like Dr. Wallach to learn about your condition, treatment options and at-home care recommendations.

If your bleeding gums are a sign of gingivitis, Dr. Wallach will recommend a professional cleaning to remove plaque and tartar from the teeth and gums. The dentist may suggest that you make more frequent visits to monitor the health of your gums and be sure that optimal health is restored.

If your gum disease is more advanced, Dr. Wallach will provide more intensive cleaning of the deep pockets of the gums to remove bacteria and build up.
