I'm bleeding a descnet amount 2 days after teeth cleaning, do gums get better eventually?

Question

It's bleeding quite alot . and it doesn't seem to stop. if i let it go, my whole tooth on the bottom gets red and then the blood also dries but more comes out.

I looked at my gum when i managed to dry it and it seems he over did it and cut some gum( just on the end where the tooth begins but still it's pretty mangled in that little point). cause i see it and its like hairs like if it was sliced accidentally. it will get better, but i don't know when. and i don't know what to do

why doesn't the blood stop. Well does the gum heal?

I would call him but it's Thanksgiving 4 day weekend, so i guess there is no way of doing that.

Answer 1

That was happening to me so while i was getting a cleaning from my dentist he told me to rinse with warm salt water, he said i am getting food caught in my gum and i should rinse with warm salt water to not only losen the food out but help heal my gums. Brushing before you go to bed is key.

It works just try it, if you think you might have infection try hydrogen peroxide mixed with warm water and rinse too.

Answer 2

bleeding of the gums is not normal during flossing. it's a sign of periodontal disease, as you probably already know. continue to floss and brush 3x per day, esp before you sleep and after you eat. bleeding goes away after 3 weeks after daily flossing and brushing.

your hygienist probably suggested you to have your teeth cleaned every 3-4 months vs 6 months. just until the periodontal disease is under control. but once the inflammation and disease has subsided, your gums will stop bleeding.

take care and happy thanksgiving!

Answer 3

Try rinsing your mouth quite often today with room temperature salt water solution. That should stop it soon. It will also feel better and aid in healing quicker! Good Luck!

Answer 4

Yes, gums do get better eventually, but call your dentist if it gets worse.
