No. Bleeding gums are common but not OK. In a healthy state gums do not bleed. Bleeding is often an indication that the gums are inflamed. The most common cause of bleeding gums is Gingivitis. Also known as inflammation of the gums, gingivitis is a disease of the soft tissues surrounding and supporting the teeth. It is a bacterial infection caused by microbes in plaque which is allowed to settle and grow around the gum edges.

The bleeding may also arise from Periodontitis or traumatic cleaning. Bleeding gums are sometimes associated with serious medical conditions. A dental practitioner should check bleeding gums.

The process of establishing good dental care should start early. It’s a good idea for a child as early as the age of three to accompany a parent to one of their check-ups. This will give the child an introduction to the dentist in a comfortable manner, helping to establish a positive relationship. Often the child will volunteer to sit in the chair for a ride! After the initial introduction, it’s a good idea to bring the child in for his own first preventative visit, and continue this habit every six months. It is crucial that all children visit the dentist at five or six-years-old, when their first permanent teeth begin coming through. In this way, they will begin caring for their new teeth and prevent future problems.
