Do you have bleeding, swollen or irritated gums? We can help restore your gum health.
Are your gums bleeding, swollen, or tender when you brush or floss? These symptoms may be early warning signs of gingivitis, a common form of gum disease caused by plaque buildup along the gum line. When left untreated, gingivitis can progress and lead to more serious oral health issues.
At Marina Aesthetic Dentistry, we make it simple to treat gum disease in its early stages. Our experienced dentist provides gentle, effective care to reduce inflammation, stop bleeding, and restore your gum health. We’ll identify the cause of your symptoms and create a personalized treatment plan to help you enjoy a healthy, confident smile for years to come.
Gum disease (gingivitis or periodontitis) – Bacterial infections can inflame the gums, causing redness and bleeding.
Poor oral hygiene – Skipping regular brushing, flossing, or professional cleanings allows plaque to build up along the gum line.
Infrequent flossing – New flossers may experience temporary bleeding as gums adjust to consistent flossing.
Ill-fitting dental appliances – Retainers or dentures that don’t fit properly can irritate gums and cause bleeding.
Certain medications – Blood thinners, antidepressants, and other medications can increase gum sensitivity and bleeding.
Hormonal changes – Pregnancy, menopause, or other hormonal shifts can make gums more prone to swelling and bleeding.
No matter the cause, our dental team will thoroughly examine your gums, determine the underlying issue, and provide a treatment plan to reduce bleeding, restore comfort, and protect your oral health.
Good oral hygiene starts with consistent brushing. Brush at least twice a day — morning and night — for two minutes each time. Be sure to reach all areas of your mouth, including hard-to-reach spots, to remove plaque that can irritate your gums.
Daily flossing is essential for healthy gums. Flossing removes plaque and food particles from beneath the gum line, helping to reduce inflammation and stop bleeding before it worsens.
Your diet and overall health play a role in gum health. Eat a balanced diet, limit sugary and acidic foods, and avoid tobacco to prevent gum irritation and promote healing.
Routine dental care is crucial for preventing and treating gum disease. We provide professional cleanings, exams, and x-rays to catch issues early, protect your teeth, and restore your gums to full health.
Laser gum therapy gently targets infected or inflamed gum tissue to reduce bacteria and promote healing, making it an effective treatment for bleeding gums. As inflammation decreases and gum health improves, bleeding typically lessens and overall periodontal health is restored.

When I stepped in the office, I explained my situation and was greeted by a friendly face who was polite, courteous, and a good listener. Thanks to Dr. Patel, I learned exactly what was going on with my teeth, and she’s always very professional
She is really thorough and walks you through so much. You understand your mouth when you leave, which is helpful. Very nice and suggests improvements or work without being car salesman.
