Gingivitis is the most common cause of bleeding and swollen gums. It is an early stage of gum disease and is often caused by poor oral hygiene. Plaque buildup on the teeth can irritate the gums, leading to inflammation, bleeding, and swelling. If gingivitis is left untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, a more severe form of gum disease. Periodontitis can cause the gums to recede, pockets to form between the teeth and gums, and can result in more serious symptoms such as persistent bad breath, loose teeth, and even tooth loss.Some medications, such as anticoagulants (blood thinners), can increase the risk of bleeding gums. If you suspect that your medications are causing this issue, consult your healthcare provider. Hormonal fluctuations during pregnancy, menstruation, or menopause can sometimes lead to swollen or bleeding gums. Certain medical conditions, such as diabetes, leukemia, and autoimmune diseases, can affect gum health and may result in bleeding or swollen gums.
