A little bleeding when you brush or floss might seem harmless—but it’s often your body’s early warning sign. At Integrative Holistic Dentistry in Chapel Hill, we help patients understand that gum bleeding is never truly “normal”—and it’s almost always a sign of inflammation or imbalance. Instead of masking the issue, our goal is to uncover the cause and heal it naturally using non-invasive, biocompatible therapies.

Bleeding gums can be linked to poor oral hygiene, nutrient deficiencies, pH imbalance, or even chronic stress. We start by evaluating your gum health, salivary chemistry, and lifestyle factors to get the full picture. Our holistic exams go beyond the surface to identify inflammation before it progresses into gum disease or systemic health issues. When you understand the why, the healing becomes sustainable.

Our Chapel Hill gum treatments avoid harsh chemicals, instead using ozone therapy, herbal rinses, and PRF healing to gently reverse infection and inflammation. These treatments stimulate regeneration and target harmful bacteria without disrupting your body’s natural balance. Most patients feel relief after just a few visits—and they appreciate the chemical-free, minimally invasive approach.

Education is key to long-term results. We guide our patients on anti-inflammatory nutrition, proper brushing technique, and natural oral care products that support gum health. When your mouth is in balance, your entire body benefits. Bleeding gums may seem minor, but treating them holistically can lead to major improvements in overall well-being.
