Accepted Answer

Infection: Tongue coating and bleeding gums may be from infection(s).  Please see your Dentist to have your problems diagnosed and properly treated.

Question 2

i have a few red spots in the middle of my tongue and its white all around. i cleaned my tongue today and it started bleeding. what could it be? could it be dangerous?

Accepted Answer

Irritation?: If you have done anything to irritate your tounge, then no, it probably isn't dangerous, but a red and white lesion that bleeds on brushing without a cause could be dangerous.  I would refer you to the oral surgeon to have it checked out.

Question 3

teath bleeding while brushing or cleaning mouth with water?

Accepted Answer

Platelet problem?: Need to see your doc and have a complete blood count to look at platelets and red cell counts.  Might also be worthwhile to look at liver function. Do not take any Aspirin or non steroidal in the interim.

Question 4

is it normal to bleed during aggressive teeth cleaning and to have sores in your gum and mouth 3 days afterwards?

Accepted Answer

Could be: By aggressive teeth cleaning, i'm assuming deep teeth & gum cleaning (scaling & root planing). Healthy gums do not bleed but if you haven't been flossing properly, regularly & you've just had a deep cleaning, it's not uncommon to have sore gums & bleeding for a couple of weeks. Hopefully, your dentist/hygienist has given you good oral hygiene instructions. If still bleeding after 2 wks, get seen.

Question 5

fluoride  in mouth after cleaning (bleeding mouth) can it cause an infection?

Accepted Answer

No: The presence of Fluoride in your mouth cannot cause an infection. Bacteria and other pathogens cause infections. I recommend you discuss your concerns with the dentist who actually treated you.

Question 6

Accepted Answer

: See a Dr. in person. They can order the HIV tests and can prescribe you medications that will treat any HIV that may be present in the bloodstream.

Question 7

please tell me, could a tongue bleed for nothing?

Accepted Answer

No: If your tongue is bleeding, then by definition it's something. You just are not aware of what it is. You should see a physician or dentist to determine the cause. Either you are biting your tongue in your sleep, or you have some larger systemic problem.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

Bleeding: Use a sterile gauze or a tea bag applied to the site with pressure for 30 minutes.

Question 9

Accepted Answer

Visit your Dentist: A quick visit to the dentist can determine the cause and determine the course of treatment.

Question 10

Probably Bleed: Most likely there will be some bleeding and pain.  You may need to see a professional if you are unable to stop the bleeding.  Consider going to an ENT for removal.
