Your gums bleeding a little bit after brushing may be a sign that you need to see a dental hygienist, but it usually isn’t considered an emergency. Severe bleeding or inflammation of the gums however could be a sign of something more serious. Book an appointment with our emergency dentist in London if you are experiencing severe bleeding, gum pain or swollen gums, and we can diagnose the problem and provide the right treatment.
The most common cause of gum inflammation is gum disease but other causes can include improper cleaning, smoking, chemotherapy, hormone changes, infection and abrasion from dental wear (such as dentures). If your gums are painful and causing difficulty eating, it may be time to book an emergency dentist appointment in London.
Swollen gums can be a tell-tale sign of underlying infection or abscess. If you have inflamed gums it’s best to book an emergency appointment with our London dental team for diagnosis and treatment before the issue worsens.
During your appointment with our emergency dentists in London, your dentist will ask some initial questions and assess the problem area to help them to decide whether a full mouth X-ray is needed. Depending on your diagnosis, you will get all the appropriate advice, prescriptions and appointments scheduled for further treatment if needed.
