hi guys I'm Dr Joe neth I am a periodontist in Southfield Michigan and I want to talk a little bit about bleeding gums bleeding gums are never normal bleeding gums are never healthy I have a lot of patients who come in and I say do your gums bleed and they say well not really that means they do because there's no such thing as not really gums either bleed or they don't and when they say not really that means there is bleeding occasionally at least there should never be bleeding at all if you had a hand
and you rubbed your hand and when you rubbed it blood came out how normal would that be it's simply not healthy it's always a sign of unhealthy gums infection inflammation disease if you have gum disease and bleeding is one of the signs it can take years off of your life it's going to make you more susceptible to heart attacks it's going to increase your risk of Strokes increase your risk of various cancers increase your risk of Alzheimer's disease increase your risk of diabetes there's no end to how many diseases are increased risk if you have
gum disease it's it's really a very dangerous situation that is painless that you don't know about so bleeding gums is one of the signs of gum disease but it's not the only sign not everybody has bleeding gums but you may still have gum disease but if you have bleeding gums something's definitely wrong get your mouth checked look I care about you I want you to live as long as you possibly can and that's not going to happen if you're you're not healthy and you're not going to be as healthy as you can be if your
