Bleeding gums are never normal — they are a sign of gum inflammation caused by plaque bacteria, and a warning signal that gum disease may be developing. At Envy Smile near Bayswater, we treat bleeding gums by addressing the root cause: professional removal of plaque and tartar combined with personalised advice on home care.
Bleeding Gums Treatment at Envy Smile
"I went there for my dental emergency and the lovely lady at reception kindly let me in for a check-up. They did a quick X-ray followed by cleaning which actually worked. The doctor was understanding and explained the cause and advised me correctly. Definitely recommended."Patient Review ★★★★★
Healthy gums do not bleed. If your gums bleed when you brush or floss, this indicates that the gum tissue is inflamed — almost always as a result of bacterial plaque accumulating at the gumline. Other contributing factors include smoking, certain medications, hormonal changes (pregnancy, menopause) and systemic conditions such as diabetes.
At Envy Smile near Bayswater, the treatment for bleeding gums begins with identifying the cause. In the vast majority of cases this is gum inflammation (gingivitis or early periodontitis) driven by plaque and tartar build-up. A professional scale and polish (from £85) or AirFlow treatment (£120) removes this build-up, combined with oral hygiene instruction tailored to your specific situation. Most patients see a significant improvement in bleeding within 4–8 weeks.
