Every time i brush my teeth i start bleeding?

Answer 1

This could be Gingivitis. Swelling, redness, pain, and bleeding of the gums are signs of gingivitis. It makes your gums extremely sensitive, but gingivitis can usually be managed at home with good dental hygiene. Good mouth and teeth care, regular dental follow-up, and treatment are also necessary for preventing gingivitis. It can be easily taken care of and cured.

Answer 2

I am 56 and my teeth still bleed a little when I brush. My teeth are excellent. Dentist said some about weak gums, but going on 56 now and no gum disease.

Answer 3

Gingivitis, which is inflammation of the gums. Do not stop brushing because the gums bleed. If you continue brushing regularly the gums will get healthier and stop bleeding. In addition to brushing there are anti-inflammatory mouthwashes.

Answer 4

i had the same problem for a while. dont worry, its nothing serious from what it sounds like. your gums are too soft and when you brush, your teeth wiggle a tiny bit, which explains the blood. try this trick that worked for me: for one week, 2wice a day, floss. do it very gently. the first couple of days, you will bleed a lot. just rise with water and keep going. after a week, your gums will be healthy and harder than before. no more bleeding!

Answer 5

You should really see a dentist. There could be several reasons, gingivitis, hard tooth brush, or receding gums that can be the result of other illnesses. See a professional it's the best way to know for sure.

Answer 6

KAREN,
YOU ARE NOT ALONE. MANY PATIENTS HAVE SIMILAR PROBLEMS. THE CAUSE FOR THIS IS TYPICALLY FROM GINGIVITIS -- OR INFLAMMATION OF THE GUMS. THE OTHER CAUSE IS THAT THE TOOTHBRUSH BRISTLES ARE TOO HARD. IF ITS A FIRM OR MEDIUM BRUSH -- CHANGE IT TO A SOFT BRISTLED BRUSH. ANOTHER CAUSE IS THAT YOU ARE APPLYING TOO MUCH PRESSURE WHEN YOU BRUSH.
A TOOTHBRUSH SHOULD BE HELD LIGHTLY, WITH 3 FINGERS AND THUMB, NOT LIKE A BASEBALL BAT.
VISIT A DENTIST FOR A DIAGNOSIS OF THE BLEEDING GUMS AND THE PROPER TECHNIQUE FOR BRUSHING.

Answer 7

I would start with a new tooth brush and some softer bristles. I would also schedule an appointment to see your dentist. I am sure it is time for a cleaning anyway.

Answer 8

Are you flossing everyday? Everyday?? You must floss every single day and after a while you should stop bleeding, unless something else is going on. Your gums will toughen up and the bleeding should stop.

Answer 9

Could be brushing too hard, your toothbrush might not be good, or it could be gum disease. Check with your dentist and you will see whats going on for sure.

Answer 10

change ur toothbrush... sometimes the bristles are hard and can damage ur gums... try using a softer brush. if it still occurs, then ask your dentist since it might be early gingivitis.. hope this helps.
