Your gums hold your teeth together and it’s important to take care of them on a regular basis. Gum Bleeding can occur for a lot of reasons. It’s a sign that it’s time to book an appointment with your dentist. Here are the causes of gum bleeding:
Plaque
Plaque is a sticky film of bacteria that accumulates around your teeth when you don’t brush and floss your teeth. Thankfully, professional dental cleaning and bringing a few changes in your dental routine can usually take care of gum bleeding due to plaque.
Smoking
Smoking is a habit that never benefits your body making you susceptible to various diseases like cancer, respiratory problems and of course gum bleeding. Smoking interferes with the normal function of gum tissue cells, making your mouth more vulnerable to infections. It also gives you foul breath.
Crooked Teeth
Malaligned teeth, crooked teeth or teeth overlap creates a major breeding ground for bacteria to grow. With spaces between the teeth, cleaning them properly becomes a difficult task. This problem of malaligned teeth needs to be fixed with orthodontic treatment as straight teeth are always easier to clean. Then with regular brushing and flossing you can take care of your well aligned teeth.
Gingivitis
Gingivitis may occur due to some internal health issues, hormonal problems, certain long term medications, or plaque when not cleaned regularly builds up on teeth and produces toxins that irritate the gums. Signs of gingivitis include bleeding, puffy, sore, inflamed or red gums. Managing gingivitis is important so that it doesn’t progress into a more serious form of gum disease.
Pregnancy
When you are pregnant, changes in your hormones affect your entire body. Your gums are no exception. Pregnancy gingivitis is caused by a rise in the hormone progesterone which can contribute to an increase in the flow of blood to gum tissues making them sensitive, swollen and more likely to bleed when you brush and floss. Expecting a baby does not mean you automatically have problems with your gums or teeth. It just means you’ll want to take extra-special care of your mouth during this time to maintain your oral health.
Nutritional Deficiencies
Poor nutrition affects your overall oral health making teeth and gums weak. A diet high in sugar and carbohydrates and deficient in water and Vitamin C can lead to gum bleeding problems.

It could be age, weak oral health or an accident, you can never determine when or if you’ll need dental implants. Thanks to the advancing technology and dental methods, you can get your smile back just like it was or better! Options and differences can be confusing and we’re here so clear all your doubts. Here’s everything you need to know about Dentures and their types:
Your dentist will try to save as many healthy teeth as possible. If your teeth are too damaged, you might have to opt for dental dentures. With today’s advancing technology, dentists can replicate dentures that are more lifelike and comfortable.
A denture is a removable replacement for missing teeth and surrounding tissues. Two types of dentures are available, complete and partial dentures. Complete dentures are used when all the teeth are missing, while partial dentures are used when some natural teeth remain.
Complete dentures cover your complete upper or lower jaw. They rest directly on the gum that covers the bone. They have the highest tendency to get loose over time due to bone loss. Although they are the most cost effective options available, they are less comfortable due to their instability.
There are two types of overdentures available:
This is a type of denture which is fixed with the helps of dental implants.This is similar to the implant-supported overdenture, the biggest difference being that you cannot remove it. Your dentist can remove it if it needs to be adjusted.Four or more implants are used to support the denture. It may or may not require bone growing(grafting) procedure,depending on the condition, to place the dental implants.
This denture doesn’t rest on your gums.These bridges are usually made of porcelain, meaning the denture looks more natural and it’s more durable.
