Bleeding Means See Us Now
Do you see that you have bleeding gums? When this happens, it’s very easy to make a decision regarding what to do. The one definitive answer every time is: Schedule a dental visit with us. Done and done!
That Is, Unless…
Yes, bleeding gums mean you need to see us now. That is, unless you’ve already seen us and we’re getting you back on track with your preventive care. If you just came in to our practice and we sent you home with instructions to begin flossing again (because you haven’t been) and with additional details regarding improved brushing, we’ve likely also told you that you may experience a bit of bleeding. This should resolve quite quickly. Remember: This is only “okay” if we have just seen you!
Don’t Confuse What’s In The Sink…
It’s very easy to think you see that you’ve spit out some blood and as a result, you assume you have bleeding gums or a bleeding sore, etc. Begin by going through multiple details regarding what else might cause you to see red, pink, or a similar color. If you’ve eaten anything that’s red- or pink-hued, if you’re wearing a red or pink lipstick, or if you’ve been drinking something very pigmented within this color family, then this might be what’s going on. If not, come see us!
