My gums are bleeding why?

Question

In the past week my gums have started to bleed when i brush them. I brush my teeth twice a day. (should be more) why have they started to bleed all of a sudden. my gums do not hurt and neither do my teeth. can anyone help.

Answer 1

gingavitis, floss, use a mouth rinse that helps remove plaque before brushing , rinse your mouth with warm salt water to help heal the gums, but a dentist can help by deep cleaning.

Answer 2

How long since your last professional clean with a Hygienist?
Bleeding is usually a sign of Gingivitis (infection of the gums), to prevent it you should brush your teeth twice a day with a medium textured toothbrush, hold brush at a 45 degree angle into the gum margin and brush in a circular motion around all the teeth surfaces, inside outside and biting surface. You should also floss between all the teeth at least once a day to remove plague build up from between the teeth and just under the gum margin, its this build up that is more then likely causing your gums to bleed which is why you should visit the hygienist regularly to clean the gums because despite all the brushing and flossing you will inevitably get build up that you can't reach yourself. Hope this helps!

Answer 3

It is possible that you have peridontal disease, which is the after stages of ginivitis.

What Are the Symptoms of Periodontal Disease?

Periodontal disease may progress painlessly, producing few obvious signs, even in the late stages of the disease. Although the symptoms of periodontal disease often are subtle, the condition is not entirely without warning signs. Certain symptoms may point to some form of the disease. They include:

Gums that bleed during and after tooth brushing
Red, swollen, or tender gums
Persistent bad breath or bad taste in the mouth
Receding gums
Formation of deep pockets between teeth and gums
Loose or shifting teeth
Changes in the way teeth fit together upon biting down, or in the fit of partial dentures.

You should definately go the dentist and have it check and looked at my husband had it and had to have all his teeth removed because her refused to go.. his dentures cost 5000 not included the surgery and the appointments.

Answer 5

Sounds like you have a gum infection. try using listerine after you brush your teeth to kill all the bacteria in your mouth. Lemon juice also helps. You may have something lodged in your gums. best to see a dentist.

Answer 6

Bleeding gums can be a sign of gingivitis, inflammation in the gums and some infection, or a symptom of several blood illnesses. You need to see your doctor and/or dentist as soon as possible. I suggest your doctor first.

Answer 7

I would advise you to see a dentist that's if you can find one and you don't have to wait 3 months other than that brush lightly more often once daily and rinse well with some
thing the pharmacist will suggest

Answer 8

Your gum is becoming infected by some bacteria due to weakness for lack of vitamin "C" which helps much in sustaining good and healthy gum.

Answer 9

Gingivitis...i tried all the "cures" when i had it it wasn't until I tried Thieves mouthwash and the denterome toothpaste that i finally eliminated it. They are both all natural but they are also strong anti bacterial There is only one side effect... your breath stays fresher and teeth cleaner longer. If you can tolerate that... than give it a try .www.youngliving.com/MARYKING1 Good luck

Answer 10

Don't brush so hard, use electric toothbrush with extra soft brush, floss everyday and speak to your dentist at your next visit, although they will pick it up themselves at your next check up and in the absence of infection probably give give you similar advice.
