Bleeding gums when you brush your teeth is one of the signs of gum disease. A deep cleaning is often necessary to control gum disease. Your dentist can advise you how to continue to treat your gum disease at home following a deep cleaning.

Key takeaways:

  • Your dentist may recommend rinsing with saltwater to reduce inflammation and to help the gum tissue heal.
  • Drinking green tea can also help protect against oral bacteria and reduce inflammation.
  • Make sure you floss properly to remove plaque and food particles which can be trapped between teeth.
