Bad breath and bleeding gums are some common signs of gum disease, which is mainly caused by plate buildup. Poor oral hygiene, smoking, or certain underlying medical conditions can worsen these results. Consistent brushing, flossing and regular dental checkups can minimise them.

 

At Dr. Teeth – Implant & Aesthetic Centre, patients can get proper solutions for bad breath and bleeding gums since it results from poor oral health that professional cleaning, customised oral care programs, and other therapies may resolve.

 

What causes BAD BREATH/ BLEEDING GUMS

Bad breath and bleeding gums are often caused by poor oral hygiene, leading to plaque and tartar buildup that irritates the gums and allows bacteria to thrive. Additional causes include:

1. Gum Disease: Gingivitis and periodontitis, both gum infections, can lead to inflamed, bleeding gums and foul odours.

2. Dry Mouth: A lack of saliva, which helps cleanse the mouth, can result in bad breath.
3. Diet and Lifestyle Choices: Smoking, alcohol, and certain foods (like garlic and onions) can worsen breath and gum health.
4. Systemic Health Issues: The patient’s health can also be threatened by diabetes, acid reflux or even respiratory infections.
5. Hormonal Changes: Gums can become more sensitive and prone to bleeding during pregnancy and hormonal changes.
6. Medications: Dry mouth or other side effects of some medications can alter breath or gums.

 

Prevention and management of these issues require regular brushing, flossing and dental visits.

 

How our dentists treat Chipped Tooth

If you’re suffering from bad breath and bleeding gums, Dr. Teeth – Implant & Aesthetic Centre in Calgary uses a comprehensive approach, treating both symptoms and the cause of the problem. To help restore normal oral health, here’s how we do it.

1. Professional Dental Cleaning: We start with a thorough dental cleaning to remove plaque and tartar buildup. This helps reduce inflammation and prevent bacteria from building up in hard-to-reach areas around the gums.

2. Scaling and Root Planing: For patients with gum disease, we offer scaling and root planing, a deep cleaning procedure that takes out bacteria and plaque below the gum line.
3. Customised Oral Hygiene Guidance: We teach patients how to brush and floss properly and how to avoid future plaque buildup.
4. Treatment for Dry Mouth and Lifestyle Counseling: If dry mouth is a problem, we also suggest treatments to increase saliva flow, such as drinking fluids or using certain oral rinses.
5. Regular Follow-Up and Maintenance: Regular dental checkups help us monitor progress, ensure treatment is working, and tweak as needed.
