Bleeding Gums? Here’s What You Need to Know About Gum Disease

Have you ever noticed bleeding when you brush or floss your teeth? Or that your gums feel swollen or sore? These could be early signs of gum disease — a very common condition that affects many people without them even realising it.

At Pain Free Dentist Sydney, we’re here to help you treat gum problems gently and effectively, so you can enjoy a healthy, confident smile.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease happens when your gums get infected due to a buildup of bacteria (plaque) on your teeth. If not cleaned off properly, this plaque hardens and causes your gums to become inflamed and pull away from your teeth.

There are two main stages:

1. Gingivitis – The Early Stage

This is when your gums look red, feel swollen, and may bleed when you brush. The good news? It can be reversed with proper cleaning and care.

2. Periodontitis – The More Serious Stage

If gingivitis is not treated, it can lead to periodontitis. This means your gums and the bone holding your teeth in place start to break down. This can cause teeth to become loose or even fall out.

Signs You Might Have Gum Disease

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing

  • Bad breath that doesn’t go away

  • Gums that are red, swollen, or sore

  • Teeth that feel loose or have moved

  • Gums pulling away from your teeth
