Teaneck NJ Dentist, Dr Sultan Sherzoy, wants patients to understand the seriousness of bleeding gums, a condition that many patients sweep under the rug. Bleeding gums can signal the presence of gingivitis and periodontal disease. If left untreated, bleeding gums can lead to more serious medical conditions.
Bleeding gums can increase the risk of heart disease, pancreatic cancer, and a whole host of other life-threatening diseases. According to Dr Sherzoy, “If your gums bleed when you brush, or seem swollen and tender, your circulatory system could be subject to the multitude of bacteria in your mouth. “
Dr Sherzoy says that bleeding gums are our body’s way of warning us that there is a problem. This is our opportunity to stop the problem before it has a chance to harm us. When a patient develops bleeding gums, it may be too late to take matters into their own hands. Excessive brushing or flossing can actually worsen the condition. A dentist can effectively remove most of the plaque that is trapping bacteria, and then the patient must follow up with home care as directed by their dentist.
Research has shown, and experts agree, that there is an association between diseases of the gums and other chronic inflammatory conditions, such as diabetes, cardiovascular disease and Alzheimer’s disease. Therefore, treating inflammation and bleeding of the gums is an excellent preventative measure to avoid other chronic inflammatory conditions.
