Think Oral Implants and Periodontics offers new, effective, and painless treatments that can restore gum health and prevent serious complications.

If you’ve been ignoring bleeding gums, it’s time to take action—with the expert care and advanced technology available at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics.

 

What Causes Bleeding Gums?

At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we see many patients struggling with gum issues, often due to:

  • Gingivitis (Early-Stage Gum Disease) – Caused by plaque buildup, leading to red, swollen, and bleeding gums.
  • Periodontitis (Advanced Gum Disease) – If untreated, gingivitis can progress to periodontitis, causing gum recession, bone loss, and even tooth loss.
  • Poor Oral Hygiene – Inconsistent brushing and flossing allow plaque and bacteria to build up, irritating the gums.
  • Hormonal Changes – Pregnancy, menopause, and hormonal fluctuations can make gums more sensitive and prone to bleeding.
  • Vitamin Deficiencies – Low levels of vitamin C or vitamin K can weaken gums.
  • Medical Conditions & Medications – Diabetes, blood thinners, and other systemic health conditions may contribute to gum bleeding.

At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we don’t just treat the symptoms—we identify and address the root cause of your gum problems to provide long-lasting solutions.

 

New & Painless Treatments for Bleeding Gums at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics

Advancements in dentistry have made gum treatments more effective and less invasive than ever before. Our practice offers cutting-edge solutions tailored to each patient’s needs.

1. Laser Therapy for Gum Disease

Laser gum treatment (LANAP) is a breakthrough for treating gum infections without surgery. This minimally invasive procedure uses laser energy to:

  • Remove infected tissue and bacteria
  • Promote gum healing and reattachment
  • Reduce inflammation with little to no discomfort

At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we use LANAP because it provides faster healing, minimal bleeding, and no need for stitches, making it a game-changer for patients with moderate to severe gum disease.

2. Antibacterial Rinses & Perio Protect

For mild cases of bleeding gums, antibacterial mouth rinses can help kill harmful bacteria and reduce inflammation.

We also offer Perio Protect®, an advanced at-home treatment where patients use custom-fitted trays to apply medicated gel deep below the gumline. This painless approach allows us to treat gum infections more effectively and prevent disease progression.

3. Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) for Gentle Gum Cleaning

Unlike traditional cleanings that scrape the teeth and gums, Guided Biofilm Therapy (GBT) at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics is a high-tech, pain-free alternative that uses:

  • Air polishing and ultrasonic technology to remove bacteria and plaque
  • A gentler approach that’s ideal for patients with sensitive gums or dental anxiety

This non-invasive procedure keeps gums healthy and free of harmful bacteria with no discomfort.

4. Platelet-Rich Plasma (PRP) Therapy for Gum Regeneration

PRP therapy, commonly used in medical and sports treatments, is now part of our advanced periodontal care at Think Oral Implants and Periodontics. This cutting-edge therapy:

  • Uses your own blood’s healing properties to stimulate gum regeneration
  • Speeds up the healing of inflamed and damaged gum tissue
  • Reduces gum inflammation and promotes natural repair

This painless, regenerative treatment is helping patients restore their gums and prevent further damage.

5. Nutritional & Lifestyle Adjustments for Gum Health

At Think Oral Implants and Periodontics, we emphasize total oral health, which includes lifestyle and nutrition recommendations to strengthen gums, such as:

  • Vitamin C supplements (for collagen production and gum healing)
  • Vitamin K intake (to support blood clotting and reduce bleeding)
  • Soft-bristle toothbrushes to avoid gum irritation
  • Electric toothbrushes and water flossers for gentler, more effective cleaning

By combining these healthy habits with our advanced dental treatments, we ensure that our patients maintain strong, healthy gums for life.
