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.
Heavy bleeding that does not stop within 20–30 minutes after an extraction requires urgent care.
Advanced gum disease causes persistent bleeding when brushing or eating.
A cut or tear to the gum tissue from a sharp object or fall can cause significant bleeding.
Patients on anticoagulants may experience heavier-than-usual gum bleeding.
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.
Prices confirmed at appointment. Written cost breakdown provided before any treatment begins.
