My gums are bleeding. i brush regularly. what has been causing this bleeding ? it also hurts a lot when i brush over the infected part. what can i do?

Gingivitis: Your gum might be infected which is called periodontitis or inflammation , make an appointment with oral hygienist and they usually schedule you for antibiotic shots in the gum . Thanks.

See your dentist: Brushing regularly does not prevent dental problems. If it is more than 6 months since your last professional cleaning, then it is time to call your dentist for an appointment.

Technique?: Although many people brush everyday, they don't do it properly. Technique is very important. You didn't mention when you last had your teeth cleaned or examined by a dentist or hygienist. Make an appointment for an exam and hygiene and ask if you might have excessively deep pockets. If so, they cannot be adequately managed by a toothbrush alone.

Treat the cause: Gum disease is a bacterial (fungus and virus) infection. Brushing reaches 1mm under the gum tissue and floss removes 15% of the plaque. Consider something that can deliver an antimicrobial (hydrogen peroxide gel) into the pocket. J dent res 2007 showed it killed 99.98% of the bacteria and j clin dent 2012 showed better results than deep cleaning. Check perio protect method for help.

Periodontitis: As a board certified gum specialist or "periodontist, " my recommendation would be to incorporate flossing into your daily regimen. If you are still seeing regular bleeding, see a periodontist to assess periodontal disease. Usually pain is not a symptom of periodontitis until the severe stage, so this may be occurring. If you seek treatment early, it can save you pain, time, and money.
