Less commonly, swelling can come from an infection, a trapped piece of food, or hormonal changes. If the swelling lasts more than a week or two or keeps returning, it is worth having examined.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"da-faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"da-faq-question\" onclick=\"daToggleGD(this)\">\r\n        Is it normal for gums to bleed when brushing?\r\n        <span class=\"da-faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"da-faq-answer\">\r\n        No. Bleeding when brushing or flossing is usually a sign of gum inflammation, not of brushing too hard. It is one of the earliest indicators of gingivitis. The right response is better cleaning and a dental check \u2014 not brushing less.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"da-faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"da-faq-question\" onclick=\"daToggleGD(this)\">\r\n        Can gum disease be reversed?\r\n        <span class=\"da-faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"da-faq-answer\">\r\n        The early stage, gingivitis, can usually be fully reversed with a professional cleaning and good home care. Once it advances to periodontitis and bone is lost around the teeth, the damage cannot be undone \u2014 but treatment can stop the disease progressing and protect the remaining teeth.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"da-faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"da-faq-question\" onclick=\"daToggleGD(this)\">\r\n        Can gum disease cause tooth loss?\r\n        <span class=\"da-faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"da-faq-answer\">\r\n        Yes. Untreated periodontitis breaks down the bone and tissue that hold teeth in place, and it is a leading cause of tooth loss in adults. This is why persistent gum problems are worth treating early, before they reach that stage.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"da-faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"da-faq-question\" onclick=\"daToggleGD(this)\">\r\n        How are receding gums treated?\r\n        <span class=\"da-faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"da-faq-answer\">\r\n        Treatment first addresses the cause \u2014 usually gum disease or aggressive brushing. A deep cleaning stops the underlying disease, and in more advanced cases a gum graft can cover exposed roots. Recession does not reverse on its own, so the goal is to stop it progressing and restore coverage where needed.\r\n      <\/div>\r\n    <\/div>\r\n\r\n    <div class=\"da-faq-item\">\r\n      <button class=\"da-faq-question\" onclick=\"daToggleGD(this)\">\r\n        When should I see a dentist about my gums?\r\n        <span class=\"da-faq-icon\">+<\/span>\r\n      <\/button>\r\n      <div class=\"da-faq-answer\">\r\n        See a dentist for gums that bleed regularly, swelling that does not settle within a week or two, visible recession, persistent bad breath, or any loose tooth.
