Bleeding Gums After Your 6-Month Cleaning?

bleeding gums Billings HeightsRegular dental check-ups and cleanings are critical for ideal dental health. However, some dental patients worry because their gums tend to bleed after a thorough cleaning.

Is this a problem? Well, it depends. If your gums bleed for a couple of days after your dental cleaning, don’t worry about it. But, if the bleeding and tenderness last longer, you need to return to your dentist and the possibility of gum disease.

Gum disease arises when plaque builds up along the gum line. You might also observe bad breath, painful chewing, and loose teeth.

Hi, I’m Dr. Neal Johnson of Neal C. Johnson DMD in Billings. Avoiding gum disease is just one of the many vital goals I have for my patients. Along with ideal dental health, I also seek to give my patients the dazzling smiles they desire through cosmetic dentistry.

Some effective procedures include porcelain veneers, dental crowns, dental bonding, teeth whitening, inlays/onlays, and tooth implants. If you want to correct several unattractive features in your smile, we can design a custom smile makeover that includes a combination of these services. It is not an exaggeration to say that modern cosmetic dentistry performed with proficiency truly works miracles with your smile!
