bleeding gums only in the morning??

Question

my gums only bleed in the morning when i wake up, sometimes even before i start brushing they will spontaneously bleed....the rest of the day when i brush or floss there is no bleeding....i am very meticulous about my oral hygeine....i need some expert opinion

Answer 1

If you are indeed very meticulous about your dental hygiene, I would guess you are breathing through your mouth at night. This causes the tissue to get very dry and irritated and can bleed easily.
Do you have allergies? Sinus problems?
I would recommend drinking water throughout the night whenever you wake up, to hydrate the tissue. See if that helps. If you have bad allergies, then you need to get on a medication to help you breath normally!

Answer 2

You have really brush in the gum well evenings too or it will not get rid of the plague under the gums.

Answer 3

Go to your dentist, but in the meantime you can use Oral B mouthwash that's what I do to control the bleeding.

Answer 4

u may be brushing too hard or using a hard toothbrush...when u bought that toothbrush did it say 'soft, medium, or hard'? u may want to limit urself to medium or soft bristles....hard and sometimes medium can cause ur gums to receed and may cause bleeding....i know this because it was happening to me...my teeth were white, and healthy but my gums were not....this is the advice my dentist gave me.....

also, you may want to use listerine (the yellow original one) to kill any type of gum disease ...but still see your dentist

gingervitis, and it's usualy worse in the morning, or if your a woman in child bearing age, it could be pregnancy, the hormones cause your gums to swell and bleed.
