Bleeding Gums
Gums that bleed when you brush or floss are not normal — they're an early warning sign of gum disease. Early gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible, but if ignored it can progress to periodontitis, causing bone loss and eventually loose or lost teeth. The good news: caught early, it's straightforward to treat.
How FaceLab Can Help
Our periodontics team, led by Dr. Dhanushka Leuke Bandara, diagnoses the stage and cause of your gum disease and delivers staged non-surgical periodontal therapy to control bleeding, halt bone loss, and restore long-term gum health. For more advanced cases, we offer periodontal surgery, gum grafting, and laser-assisted treatments.

Bleeding gums are always a sign that something needs attention — usually plaque buildup or early gum disease. The earlier you address it, the simpler the treatment.
Early gum disease (gingivitis) is fully reversible with treatment. More advanced periodontitis can be controlled and stabilised, though lost bone usually cannot fully regrow without surgical regeneration.
Non-surgical periodontal therapy is generally well tolerated, performed with local anaesthesia where needed. We focus on patient comfort throughout.
