My gums were bleeding around the tooth next to the extraction site after brushing yesterday. Is that a sign of something connected to the extraction or is a gum problem on it's own ?

nyuszisue,

Most of the time some bleeding from the gums during/after brushing or flossing indicates a build up of plaque. The plaque is a sticky bacteria that forms when debris from food is not removed. This bacteria is very irritating to the gum tissue and will cause the gums to bleed and swell up. Plaque needs to be manually removed via brushing and flossing twice a day.

Another thing that will cause bleeding gums is the birth control pill. The pill elevates a women's inflammatory response which can cause the gums to be tender.. puffy... and/or bleed. Women on the pill should be extra diligent with their oral home care to eliminate or reduce the onset of periodontal disease.

If the gum was bleeding profusely and/or it bleeds when you press on it with your finger or a q tip then it may indicate a bacterial infection.

Do you have bleeding gums from time to time or have you been told that you have periodontal disease?

I don't have a periodontal disease and it happened maybe just a couple of times that I saw bleeding when I brushed my teeth before. What if it is a bacterial infection ?

nyuszisie,

Bacterial infections are treated according to their cause.
If that is what you suspect then see your dentist this week.

Will I have to take another round of antibiotics or they do something with the gums in the office ?

Depends on what it is. The dentist will take a look, gently probe the area, and maybe take an x-ray.
