Bleeding gums: causes, when to worry and treatment in Dubai
Why gums bleed when brushing, what it means, and how gum disease is treated at Manhal Medical Center, Dubai.
Bleeding gums are most often a sign of gingivitis — inflammation caused by plaque along the gumline. It is common, usually painless, and reversible when treated early.
Gingivitis resolves with professional cleaning and good home care. Untreated, it can progress to periodontitis, which damages the bone supporting the teeth.

- Red, puffy gums
- Bad breath
- Gums pulling away from teeth
Common causes
- Plaque and tartar build-up
- Hormonal changes, including pregnancy

I had an excellent experience with Dr. Fariba. She is an amazing dentist—very professional, gentle, and caring. She took the time to explain every step of the treatment and made sure I felt comfortable throughout the procedure. Her clinic is clean, modern, and welcoming, and her staff are always friendly and helpful. I'm very happy with the results and truly appreciate her attention to detail. I highly recommend Dr. Fariba to anyone looking for a skilled and compassionate dentistDr Fariba is the one dentist I keep going back to, because she is honest, kind, gives advice on making teeth last…Like many people, I don't enjoy the dentist. For many years I avoided visits out of fear. I found Manhal 15 years ago, and he is a wonderful dentist. Calming presence. Excellent implantology as well as other dental work. I have recommended him personally to many friends, and will continue to do so. I just hope he doesn't ever retire. When I have been overseas with dental problems, I have flown back to Dubai specifically to see him. Could not imagine ever going to another dentist.
