how to slove bleeding gums?

Answer 1

Rinse your mouth twice a day with warm salt water. Brush your teeth with a paste made from baking soda and hydrogen peroxide. Before brushing, rinse mouth thoroughly with Listerine or another antiseptic mouthwash. Flossing is very important since tiny food particles can get into inflamed gums and make matters worse.

Answer 2

Have a cleaning and checkup with a dentist. He/She will check your teeth and gums to make sure they are healthy. If they bleed constantly then you may need to have bloodwork done to rule out anything systemic. More than likely though you just need a cleaning. Since you didn't give anymore information than the question I would think they are just bleeding from having buildup from plaque/tartar. A professional cleaning should take care of that. Good luck!

And by the way, you should always stick with a SOFT bristle toothbrush. The medium or hard is too abrasive for most patients and you could wear facets on the front of your teeth and do a lot of damage. Also the Sonicare is a great idea but the mouth condition probably won't improve unless you get the irritants out of the gums. A cleaning will do that for you! Good luck!

You may have Gingivitis. There are specially formulated toothpastes that help.
Secondly everyone should be brushing their gums as well as their teeth. When brushing only in the direction away from the gums, over the teeth and into the mouth i.e. only up on bottom teeth and only down on top teeth. This prevents damage to the gums.
Finally when brushing your teeth be careful how much force you put on the brush. You should be using just enough force to make good contact with the teeth. My dentist says you should pretend you are brushing a ripe tomato - too much force and you'll break the skin.

1. Get a medium bristle new toothbrush. Brush your teeth for at least two minutes morning and evening, and remember the rule 'every surface of every tooth'.

2. FLOSS your teeth every day at least once. Be thorough in your technique. Flossing is nearly more important than brushing for your gums.

3. Get dental check up - you may need to use a special mouthwash which the dentist will tell you about.

4. If your dental hygiene is excellent, go to your doctor to see if there's an underlying medical condition that could be causing/contributing to your problems.

Answer 5

There are doctors that specialize in treating diseased gums. That's all these doctors treat: gums. You can go to your primary physician or dentist and ask for a referral. No one on here can tell you how to "solve" your problem with bleeding gums, as no one even knows what's causing it.

If it's simple gingivitis, better oral hygeine, flossing, and using listerine and perhaps a temporary broad spectrum anti-biotic like doxycycline might bring the problem under control. This is something your dentist could take care of, if it's just simple gingivitis, which is very, very common.

I would strongly recommend buying a "sonicare" toothbrush. The cost on these has recently dropped considerably. You can now purchase one from Wal-Mart for I believe like $30 to $40 or so. This toothbrush uses sonic waves that reach in between teeth and in even below the gum line to dislodge plaque, bacteria, and pus. This would go a long way to improving the health of your gums, if you used it at least twice daily.

Trust me on the Sonicare toothbrush; there is absolutely nothing better for maintaining the health of your gums. It creates basically concentrated sound waves that are harmless to your gums and teeth, but blast away germs and plaque from the most inaccessible regions between teeth and below the gum line. It's a great investment.

Answer 6

if your gums are bleeding regularly, chances are you have an infection called gingivitis or periodontal disease. First and foremost, see a periodontist (a dentist who specializes in this type of treatment). Secondly, continue to brush your teeth 2 times per day. Sometimes running your toothbrush under warm water to soften the bristles helps. Be sure to gently brush the gums. The more you brush and floss the less they will bleed. Make sure you are brushing correctly by asking a dental professional; it is important to brush all surfaces of your teeth, including along your gums with a soft brush.

Answer 8

guess you came to the right person :) i have a blood disease and bleeding gums are my specialty OK in order to stop a gum bleed from my experience coffee has a great impact it help aggregation and you should brush your teeth daily but try not to brush too hard in the most severe cases i have (bleeding lasts for 4 to 7 days i use pressure on the bleeding spot with cotton & alcahol it hurts allot but much better than bloody mouth)

Answer 9

Brush and floss your teeth effectively for 2 weeks. If your gums continued to bleed, that means that you still have dental plaque that has to be removed by the dentist (that procedure is called scaling and root planning).

Answer 10

Sounds like gingivitis. You should perform really good oral hygiene. Brush after every meal with a good toothpaste, floss at least once a day, and use a good mouth wash before bed, like Listerine. Go to the dentist too, he can give you a full check up to make sure you don't have anything serious. Good luck.
