Dentists in Norcross, Norcross Dental Associates, Share Causes of Bleeding Gums

    NORCROSS, GA, April 24, 2013 /24-7PressRelease/ -- Bleeding gums are an all-too-common occurrence, but the dentists at Norcross Dental Associates know that healthy gums do not bleed easily. The Gwinnett dentists want their patients to understand the root causes of bleeding gums.

Most frequently, bleeding gums are caused by bacterial, viral or fungal infections of the gums. These infections can cause gingivitis or inflame the gums, causing them to shrink away from our teeth and become more susceptible to bleeding on contact. Poor dental hygiene, such as not brushing or flossing properly, can also lead to our gums bleeding.

Bleeding gums can often be prevented with proper dental care. The dentists in Norcross recommend brushing your gums gently with a soft bristled brush, avoiding sharp foods that could unnecessarily cut your gums, chewing food thoroughly, and flossing regularly.

If you experience frequent gum bleeds, Norcross Dental Associates encourages you to visit their Norcross dentist practice to determine the underlying cause. Frequent bleeding usually indicates that something is wrong, and you do need to seek dental care.

"Bleeding gums can be a sign that something is not right with our mouths," says Ken Tralongo, CEO of Tralongo Management, the parent company for Norcross Dental Associates. "If you have noticed your gums bleeding when you brush or floss your teeth, we recommend that you set up an appointment with one of our Norcross dentists to find out what's going on."
