Talk to your dentist: This would be a question for your dentist. He/she knows your teeth and gums from regular checkups and can advise on specific oral care regimens. They can also advise on the cause of the bleeding/ gum pain. Dry mouth can also be a side effect of medications, stress and mouth breathing at night.

good morning dentists. could blood in saliva/phlegm be related to or from bleeding gums? is there any connection to dry mouth? other than brushing and waterpic, would you be able to offer suggestions as to cause of blood in saliva at night treatment?

Blood is a Warning: While there may be a number of causes for the blood I immediately suspect Gum disease.

Brush, Floss and rinse, and see your dentist immediately.
