Mouth bloodshot and yellow

When your gums bleed, red blood will appear in your mouth. In addition, one's bad eating habits will lead to excessive liver fire in the body, and blood will appear in the mouth. There are many situations in which bloodshot eyes may appear. At this time, you should go to the hospital for examination in time to find out the cause of the bleeding and then treat it symptomatically. Nowadays, there are many sub-healthy people in society, and many diseases are becoming younger.

It is generally divided into two types: local and systemic. Gingival bleeding caused by local reasons is common in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. These patients develop tartar at the gum line because they do not brush their teeth regularly or because of incorrect brushing techniques. Tartar is a hard, lime-like substance that irritates the gums and can cause inflammation, swelling, and congestion of the gums. In mild cases, the gums may bleed when brushing, sucking, biting hard objects, or picking your teeth. In severe cases, the gums may bleed even with slight or no stimulation. If inflammation or high fever causes changes in the vascular structure of the gum tissue, bleeding may also occur.

Bleeding gums caused by oral diseases are more common in gingivitis and periodontitis. In addition, ill-fitting dentures, food impaction, periodontal damage, etc. can all cause bleeding gums. Some will leave bleeding marks on the toothbrush. People don't need to worry if they encounter this situation, because this type of bleeding will stop soon after brushing their teeth. In addition, if caries has destroyed the tooth crown (medically called a residual crown), there is sharp enamel tissue on the surface of the residual crown, which cuts the gums like a knife and causes bleeding gums; some people pierce bones into their gums due to careless eating, which can also cause bleeding gums, but this bleeding only occurs on the gums of individual teeth. After the residual crown and bone spurs are removed, the bleeding will stop; some people bleed because of improper use of toothpicks and injuring their gums. This kind of bleeding will stop soon as long as you stop picking your teeth or correct the method of using toothpicks. Some gingival bleeding is caused by systemic diseases. This type of gingival bleeding is often one of the clinical symptoms of systemic diseases. It is helpful for the diagnosis of systemic diseases, and treatment should also be done with special caution.

Scurvy is a congenital bleeding disease caused by a lack of ascorbic acid (also known as vitamin C), and bleeding gums are a prominent symptom of the disease. The gums of patients with scurvy are dark red and swollen, and the swollen gums can sometimes cover the crowns of the teeth. As people's living standards continue to improve, scurvy has become very rare in our country. It is worth noting that various blood system diseases may also cause symptoms of bleeding gums, such as leukemia, hemophilia, thrombocytopenic purpura, aplastic anemia, etc., which often manifest as bleeding gums or bleeding after tooth extraction, which is difficult to stop using general hemostatic methods.

If you encounter this situation, you must ask an internist to conduct a detailed examination to find out the cause of the bleeding and prescribe the appropriate medicine. Over the years, we have also found that some patients with leukemia first come to the dental department because of persistent gum bleeding. Dental doctors should also be highly vigilant about these patients. Bleeding gums may also occur in cirrhosis of the liver, hypersplenism, late-stage nephritis, and certain febrile diseases. Bleeding gums are often accompanied by bad breath, which hinders the patient's work and social activities, and some may even cause mental burden to the patient. There are many causes of bleeding gums. Developing good oral hygiene habits can prevent the occurrence of gingivitis and periodontitis. Brushing your teeth every morning and evening and rinsing your mouth after meals can remove dirt and food debris and prevent the formation of plaque and tartar. Going to the hospital for periodontal cleaning (teeth cleaning) regularly is the best way to care for your teeth.
