Glossary Gingival Bleeding

bleeding of gum tissue, often during brushing or flossing

Gingival bleeding, commonly known as bleeding gums, refers to the bleeding of the gum tissue, often occurring during brushing or flossing. It is typically a sign of inflammation due to plaque buildup, gingivitis, or periodontal disease, but can also be caused by factors such as vitamin deficiencies, hormonal changes, or certain medications. Persistent gingival bleeding should be evaluated by a dental professional to determine the underlying cause and appropriate treatment.
