FAQ
Is it normal for gums to bleed when I floss?
No, it’s not. Bleeding gums are a sign of inflammation and should be addressed by a dental professional.
Can bleeding gums go away on their own?
While mild cases may improve with better oral hygiene, it’s best to see a dentist to prevent the problem from worsening.
Will brushing harder stop the bleeding?
Actually, brushing too hard can make the problem worse. Use a soft-bristled toothbrush and gentle, circular motions.
How long does it take to heal bleeding gums?
With proper care, you may see improvement in as little as a week. However, consistency is key to long-term health.
How can I prevent my gums from bleeding?
Maintaining healthy gums involves consistent dental care, including brushing twice daily, flossing regularly, and visiting us for routine cleanings. We’ll show you proper techniques and suggest ways to strengthen your oral hygiene routine.

This office is amazing! The aesthetics alone are cool and welcoming, and the complete opposite of the clinical dentist we all fear. The staff is nice, friendly, and the music is bumpin! Dr. Perlow and his staff are true experts, quick and a good time!
