What is causing my gums to bleed?

Bleeding is often due to infection of the gums and the bone supporting teeth. Make an appointment with your dentist. I am very nervous about going to the dentist and haven't been for 10 years. How do you cater for nervous patients? We are very mindful that not all people have had good experiences with dentists in the past. We use many painless techniques and you will find our staff extremely friendly, patient and caring. If you are especially nervous or anxious, hypnosis may be the answer for you. Make sure you let us know how you feel when you make an appointment so we can cater to you special needs.
