Question 1

what causes  gum bleeding?

Accepted Answer

Inflammation: Bleeding gums is most often from improper hygiene.  When plaque bacteria are not completely cleaned from your teeth, the byproducts of their "living" on your teeth causes an inflammation in your gums and with inflammation comes increased blood flow.  There are some systemic diseases that can cause bleeding gums as well, but it's usually dental plaque.  Check with your dentist for an evaluation.

Poor oral hygiene: Most commonly, the answer is inadequate oral hygiene.  The plaque/bacteria accumulate on your teeth and under the gums and causes an infection called gingivitis, and in more advanced stages, periodontitis.  This can lead to tooth loss if left untreated.  Go see your dentist today.

Question 3

what should i do about my gum bleeding?

Brush & Floss: Bleeding gums are usually a symptom of periodontal disease.  The metabolic byproducts of the bacteria that organize on the teeth forming plaque, chemically irritate the supporting structure of the teeth (periodontium).  This inflammatory response causes swelling and capillary fragility.  Brushing and flossing tear the fragile tissue resulting in bleeding.  See your dentist -.

Question 5

what can cause sudden gum bleeding? can it be because i recently started exercising intensely and eating more healthy ?

Accepted Answer

No: It sounds like periodontal (gum) disease. Hopefully it's  just gingivitis, the milder form and easily treated. When were your last medical and dental exams? It certainly is time for a dental check-up and evaluation.

Question 6

what should you do to stop gum bleeding when flossing ?

Accepted Answer

A few days but....: Don't 'pop'  the floss between your teeth and hitting the gums. Gently see-saw the floss between your teeth slowly. Once you get between the teeth gently go under the gumline to remove any plaque. I like to floss after brushing before rinsing to help push the toothpaste chemicals between the teeth.  You can also rinse with warm salt water to help sore gums and keep current with your dental exams.

Question 9

what can i do about gum bleeding around one tooth?

Accepted Answer

Brush and floss: Bleeding is a danger sign.  If i shook your hand and it started to ooze blood, wouldn't you be worried?  Gums should not bleed.  The bleeding is an indicator of a more serious problem.  Perhaps conscientious brushing and flossing, twice a day will help.  Remember that if one area is inflamed, perhaps others are too.  Visit your dentist.

Question 10

Bleeding gum: If you are still having bleeding around the treated tooth three weeks after treatment a return visit to your dentist is recommended. Material lodged under the gum or a fracture extending along the root into the bone and periodontal complex can also cause the continued symptoms.
