A member asked:
What causes me to bleed from the mouth when i sleep?
A doctor has provided 1 answer
Periodontal disease: Periodontal disease is an inflammation of the gums. Bleeding is a common sign of periodontal disease. It can be worsened by those who breathe through the mouth when sleeping. Also, some traumatic events while sleeping (tooth grinding, tongue or lip biting) can occur when sleeping. See a dentist for examination and more information.
