Bleeding Gums Dentists in Malta

Bleeding gums during brushing or flossing are a common early warning sign of gingivitis or more advanced periodontal disease caused by plaque and tartar build-up along the gum line. A dentist will carry out a gum assessment, perform professional scaling and polishing, and provide oral hygiene instruction to address the inflammation. Untreated gum disease can progress to periodontitis, which causes irreversible bone loss and eventual tooth loss.
