Periodontics
Periodontics focuses on your gums and the tissues that support your teeth. Bleeding when brushing, receding gums or loose teeth deserve an assessment, even when there is no pain. Treatment follows a diagnosis and may include deep cleaning, periodontal procedures and ongoing care. At our practice in Armenia, Colombia, the first step is to understand what is happening and explain the options for looking after your gum health.

Is it normal for my gums to bleed?
Frequent bleeding should be checked. It can occur with gum inflammation; an assessment helps identify the cause and the appropriate treatment.

No. Some cases can be managed with non-surgical treatment and maintenance. Surgery is considered according to the disease, response to treatment and individual needs.
