For Balgownie Patients
When your gums are telling you something
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss are easy to ignore. They are also one of the earliest signs that plaque has built up where your brush is missing it.
Left alone, gum trouble can loosen the support around teeth. Caught early, it often settles with a thorough clean and better daily habits.
A dentist can measure the space between your gums and teeth, explain what they find and show you where to focus at home. You do not need to have cleaned up first.
Home care matters as much as the visit. Ask which brush, floss or small interdental brush (a brush for the gaps between teeth) suits the shape of your mouth, and how often to use it.
Care To Ask About

Common Questions
Questions from Balgownie patients
It is common, but it is not a sign that your gums are healthy. Bleeding often means plaque is sitting along the gumline. Book a check so your dentist can look and explain what to change.
