Take Your First Step To A Beautiful Smile!

No, seeing blood every time you brush is not normal.

If you notice blood in the sink after brushing or your teeth seem to have shifted, it could be an early sign of gum disease. Many patients think it’s down to brushing too hard, a stressful week, or a lingering infection — but these symptoms often point to something more serious.

Even if you visit your dentist regularly for hygiene appointments, persistent bleeding or tenderness afterwards isn’t normal. In fact, untreated gum disease can lead to tooth loss and even affect your overall health and wellbeing.

The good news is even in severe cases, it could be possible to save your teeth - and the sooner you get onto it, the more likely you’ll keep them.

At London Dental Arts, our dedicated periodontal specialists are here to assess your gum health, explain your options clearly, and guide you back to stability with expert, compassionate care. It’s what we do best.

Book your consultation today and take the first step toward a healthier smile.

Why not just stick with my regular dentist for gum treatment?

You can—and your dentist may also choose to collaborate with a periodontist to ensure you benefit from a specialist with advanced training in gum care. At London Dental Arts, we’re happy to coordinate with your dentist so your care remains comprehensive and fully aligned.

Could my bleeding gums just be from brushing too hard?

If you were brushing hard enough to cause bleeding, you’d likely be in pain. But in reality, very few people brush that hard. If your gums bleed every time you brush, it’s far more likely that gum disease is the cause. Don’t worry—early diagnosis means better treatment success, so book in with us as soon as possible.

Should I still see a periodontist even if I don’t have symptoms?

Absolutely. The best time to start seeing a gum specialist is before symptoms develop. We help prevent issues before they start, assess your individual risk factors, and keep your gums in peak condition for the long term.

Can’t a standard clean at the dentist solve the problem?

Many patients with gum disease say that routine cleanings only make things more painful, with bleeding continuing or even worsening. If you experience frequent bleeding while brushing, a regular clean may not be enough. Let our experts determine whether deeper treatment is needed—before you go through unnecessary discomfort.
