Bleeding Gums Emergency near Richmond

Heavy, persistent or spontaneous gum bleeding — particularly following an extraction, trauma or dental procedure — requires urgent attention and should be treated as a dental emergency.

Common causes

What Causes Bleeding Gums?

Post-Extraction Bleeding

Heavy bleeding that does not stop within 20–30 minutes after an extraction requires urgent care.

Gum Disease

Advanced gum disease causes persistent bleeding when brushing or eating.

Trauma to the Gum

A cut or tear to the gum tissue from a sharp object or fall can cause significant bleeding.

Blood Thinning Medication

Patients on anticoagulants may experience heavier-than-usual gum bleeding.

How we treat it

Treatment for Bleeding Gums

Apply gentle pressure with a clean cloth or gauze for 20–30 minutes. Do not rinse or spit. If bleeding does not stop, call us immediately. We will identify and treat the source — which may involve suturing, haemostatic dressing or treating the underlying gum disease.

If you are in pain, over-the-counter ibuprofen (if you can take it) and paracetamol can help manage discomfort until your appointment. Do not apply heat to the face as this can make swelling worse. If you have facial swelling affecting your breathing or swallowing, go to your nearest A&E immediately.
