Bleeding
Gums Bleeding? We’ll Take a Look.
If you’re seeing blood when you brush or floss—or if you’ve had sudden bleeding that won’t stop—it’s worth getting checked out.
At Accidental, we provide bleeding gums treatment in Durham, NC for people who just need answers and relief. No pressure. No judgment. Just help.
When to Worry About Bleeding
Come see us if you notice:
Bleeding during brushing or flossing
Swollen or tender gums
Bleeding that lasts more than a few minutes
A metallic taste in your mouth
Bleeding after biting or chewing
Some occasional bleeding can be normal, especially if you’re flossing for the first time in a while. But consistent or heavy bleeding can be a sign of something deeper.
We’ll take a look and help identify what’s behind the bleeding. Some common causes include:
What Might Be Going On
Gum disease or gingivitis
Brushing too hard
Infections or abscesses
Injuries to the gums or soft tissue
Lost or broken dental work
Side effects from certain medications
Whatever the cause, we’ll help you figure it out and make a plan to address it.
Once we know what’s going on, we’ll:
Talk through what’s causing the bleeding
Offer treatment if it’s something we can handle in-clinic
Refer you to a nearby specialist if you need ongoing care
Help you understand how to keep it from coming back
Your visit begins with a $125 diagnostic fee. That covers your exam and any x-rays we may need.
