Question 1

what does spitting. up blood when u brush your teeth?

Accepted Answer

Depends: If there is just a little blood, it could be coming from inflammation of your gums. A little of this once in a while is not uncommon. But if this is a regular problem, you should see your dentist as you may have chronic gum disease that needs treatment.
If there is a lot of blood on a regular basis, get your mouth checked by a doctor to make sure there is no oral tumor present.

Question 2

is spitting blood when brushing teeth bad?

Accepted Answer

Indication: It is not normal and can be an indication of gum disease or in rare cases a systemic condition.  I would suggest having a dentist diagnose your problem and offer some possible solutions.

Question 3

brushed teeth and spitting blood that's not from gums. does this mean a cavity?

Accepted Answer

No: How do you know the blood is not from the gums? Teeth don't usually bleed unless a big piece of a tooth comes out and the nerve is exposed. But that is rare and most people do have gingivitis, so ot's more likely to be from the gums.  Unless you have stomach issues. That could also be a cause. Get evaluated by a dentist to determine the source.

Question 4

i really need some answers! why am i still spitting blood after my wisdom teeth were taken out?

Accepted Answer

A wound is left : Where the teeth were. Follow dentist's written instructions after an extraction. Avoid strenuous activity to include heavy lifting. Take it easy. Avoid activities that create suction (smoking or sucking from a straw). Don't swish vigorously. Avoid alcohol ; hot beverages. A soft or liquid diet would be good. Your dentist/ oral surgeon likely provided you w gauze to apply pressure for bleeding/.

Question 5

i have a dentist appointment today i want her to do root canal for broken tooth but for a week i have been spitting blood can she do root canal?

Accepted Answer

Depends : There are several reasons why you might have blood in your mouth. Some are serious. See your dentist right away to find out where the blood is coming from and then proceed with the root canal.

Question 6

i had a issue where i struggled to brush teeth because or anxiety i got over it recently and can actually do it twice a day but i've noticed white gums and blood when spitting could it be cancer?

Accepted Answer

: It appears that your gingiva is inflamed, thus the bleeding. Have you seen a dentist for a professional cleaning in the past six months? If not, make an appointment. If you have built up calculus th brushing isn't really going to help until that calculus is removed.

Question 7

Yes: Any time you see blood where it should not be,  you should be concerned. See your doctor or an ENT to have a head and neck evaluation.

Question 8

Accepted Answer

May be urgent: If this is just developing at this very minute, you may be in the early stages of a severe allergic reaction ("Steven-Johnson Syndrome") which is a medical emergency. If this is acute, TO IMMEDIATELY TO AN EMERGENCY ROOM. If this is not acute, it still will require careful evaluation.

Question 9

spitting blood when i suck in my mouth and spit but not a lot but it's enough to worry me i blew my nose no blood been a week no probable cause?

Accepted Answer

Gum disease : Your gums are probably bleeding. See your dentist. It could be Gingivitis, it could be Periodontal Disease. Have it checked out. Your mouth shouldn't bleed.

Question 10

what could be responsible for spitting blood without having any cut in mouth?

Accepted Answer

Bleeding gums: You could have bleeding gums which can often be present without pain. I would begin by seeing your dentist. IN ANY CASE your symptoms are not normal and you must get the bleeding tracked down!
Good Luck
