Question

Answer 1

It depends. Generally the 'teeth' don't bleed, it's normally the gums unless you have a fractured tooth, in which case there is nothing you can do except go to the Dentist I'm afraid. If it's your gums on the other hand, then you can do some things yourself. To get you out of the agonising pain, if you are able to take it take Nurofen pain killers, they are the most effective for treating dental pain. Make sure that you brush your teeth and gums thoroughly (about 3 mins) at least twice a day, buy some inter dental brushes and dental floss to really clean in between the teeth, this will also clean the gums. Rinse your mouth out with warm salt water after brushing, the salt has antiseptic and healing properties, continue to use this until the bleeding has stopped, also try adding 1 drop of Tea Tree essential oil to your usual toothpaste each time you brush as this will help to kill bad bacteria in the mouth, which are the main cause for bad breath and gum disease.

Basically keep your gums really clean as well as the teeth, it will take about 10 - 14 days for you to see a real improvement, so be patient and once it's under control keep the cleaning up and you should find that this problem may not come back.

Start FLOSSING after every meal. However, you are probably way past due a "deep cleaning." At this point, you probably have a lot of calculus build up under your gums. Calculus is food and bacteria that have hardened into a cement-like material. You will not be able to remove this calculus build up. Only your dentist can. If you ignore the problem, you will have bone loss in the areas that you have calculus build up on your teeth. Bone loss is called "periodontitis." Many people have periodontitis but they are not aware of it and dont really care for it b/c it is one of those diseases that is pain-less. Severe periodontitis leads to loosening of the tooth and eventually losing the tooth.

Go to a Denta School if u cant afford a dentist. You will get even a better treatment that your private practice because they dont work for money. They work to learn.

I have the same problem and the only thing I do is(so then I don't have to go to the dentist)was to make sure I brush my teeth very well in the morning and night and then I also floss my teeth . That tends to work because your taking out any plaque that was left on your teeth after you brushed,also if you brush your gum's very lightly you might see some results to because they get dirty as well. Your gums might still bleed for a few more brushes but after awhile it will stop,trust and belive I've been doing this for a long time and they don't bleed any more cause I take care of them.This worked for me, I hope it work's for you.

Answer 4

Try using corsadyl dental gel followed by corsadyl mouthwash. Can be a bit more expensive than normal toothpaste & mouthwash but not as expensive as the dentist. About £5 for the mouthwash & about £3/4 for the gel.

It really is amazing stuff.

Answer 5

Sorry, but it is important to see a dentist soon. This could be a problem called Gingivitis which if untreated could lead to even more serious disease and the loss of teeth or worse.

As a starter, go to the chemists and ask if they have anything which would help. If they think that it is serious, they will advise you if there is a free emergency clinic near to you. Good luck and hope you feel better soon

Answer 6

It is not your teeth that are bleeding. It is your gums. You need to brush them at the same time that you brush your teeth. Use a soft toothbrush and brush for at least two minutes. Then use floss between your teeth to get out any particles that your toothbrush misses. Do this twice a day. Rinse with Listerine for 30 seconds. It is much more effective than other mouthwashes.

Answer 7

Teeth don't bleed, but gums do! If your gums are bleeding I highly suggest you go to the dentist because it sounds like early stages of gum disease. You are going to need a thorough clean as you probably have trapped food/plaque build up below the gum line which is what would make your gums bleed!

Answer 8

Bleeding teeth (gums) are not usually painful unless an infection or abscess is involved. Go to your nearest hospital that has an A&E, ask if they have emergency dental care (many do!), and have them take care of it. If you live in Surrey, I know that the hospital at Redhill (East Surrey Hospital) has emergency dental care associated with their A&E.

Answer 9

You serious need to go see the dentist to get a deep cleaning.
You have gingivitis and need special care. They can prescribe
you something to rinse out your mouth. If in fact you can not
go to a dentist then dental floss your teeth after each meal, also
rinse your mouth out with Listerine and brush for at least 2 minutes, no cheating (2MIN.). Seriously do all this, after each meal. You must take care of your breath, no one likes to smell
something like it died in your mouth. DO THIS EVERYDAY!!
