It is not normal for your gums to bleed and there
may be a variety of reasons or problems that you are faced with that cause
this. If you do not brush and floss regularly you may begin to see build-up,
bleeding and swollen gums. However, there are other causes as well, such as
medications that you are taking.
The American Dental Association (ADA) lists blood
thinning medications as one of the possible causes of bleeding gums. These
medications decrease the blood’s ability to clot, which can lead to easier
bleeding. Other medications include:
•
anticonvulsants-Dilantin can cause abnormal gum
swelling
•
blood pressure medications
•
immuno-suppressants can cause gum inflammation
and bleeding
Bleeding gums is never normal, if you are impacted by this problem,
contact Dr. Lee and her team today for a consultation to ensure that there is
nothing more serious impacting your smile.
