Stop Bleeding Gums, Bad Breath, and Tooth Loss Early

Do your gums bleed when you brush?

Bleeding gums are often ignored, but they are one of the earliest warning signs of gum disease. Many patients assume it is normal, yet healthy gums do not bleed.

At Omabod Dental Clinic in Accra, we help patients treat gum disease early to prevent pain, tooth loss, and long-term oral health problems.

What Is Gum Disease?

Gum disease, also known as periodontal disease, is an infection of the gums caused by plaque and tartar buildup around the teeth.

It develops in stages:

  • Gingivitis – early stage, reversible
  • Periodontitis – advanced stage, causes bone and tooth loss

Early treatment makes a significant difference.

Common Signs of Gum Disease

You may have gum disease if you notice:

  • Bleeding gums when brushing or flossing
  • Swollen, red, or tender gums
  • Persistent bad breath
  • Receding gums
  • Loose teeth
  • Pain when chewing

Some people have gum disease without obvious pain, which is why check-ups matter.

What Causes Gum Disease?

Gum disease can be caused by:

  • Poor oral hygiene
  • Infrequent dental cleaning
  • Smoking
  • Diabetes
  • Hormonal changes
  • Buildup of plaque and tartar

Identifying the cause helps guide effective treatment.

Gum Disease Treatments We Offer

Treatment depends on the stage of the disease and may include:

  • Professional teeth cleaning
  • Deep cleaning (scaling and root planing)
  • Removal of plaque below the gum line
  • Medication when infection is present
  • Oral hygiene guidance to prevent recurrence

Our approach focuses on stopping the disease and protecting your teeth.

Is Gum Disease Treatment Painful?

Most gum treatments are well tolerated. Local anesthesia may be used for deep cleaning to keep you comfortable.

As inflammation reduces, gums begin to heal and bleeding decreases.

Why Treat Gum Disease Early?

Ignoring gum disease can lead to:

  • Tooth loss
  • Receding gums
  • Bone damage
  • Chronic bad breath
  • Increased risk of other health problems

Early treatment helps you keep your teeth for life.

Gum Disease Treatment for Adults

Gum disease is common in adults, especially if regular cleanings are skipped. Early intervention prevents more advanced procedures later.

We tailor treatment plans to each patient’s needs.
