Why is my tooth always bleeding

Some people often find their gums bleeding when brushing their teeth in the morning. Some people suddenly feel a bloody smell in their mouth when eating, and then they find their teeth bleeding. Bleeding teeth can make people feel very uncomfortable. In severe cases, it can also cause toothache. So what is the reason why teeth always bleed? The editor will introduce it to you below.

reason

There are many reasons for bleeding gums, which can be divided into two major aspects. On the one hand, it is caused by local oral factors, such as gingivitis, gingival tumors, etc. On the other hand, there is gingival bleeding due to systemic diseases, such as anemia, leukemia, hemophilia, etc.

Gingival bleeding is most commonly caused by local oral factors. It is mostly due to unclean oral cavity, which causes food residues, plaque and tartar to accumulate around the teeth. Various bacteria in the oral cavity multiply in large numbers, leading to gingivitis and bleeding gums, and patients often have bad breath. In addition, other gum diseases such as gingival tumors can also cause bleeding due to the abnormally rich blood vessels and the tumors can rupture due to friction when chewing. Other factors such as incorrect brushing methods, residual roots (rotten tooth roots), residual crowns, poorly made braces, poor fillings, etc., which may cause gum bleeding due to sharp edges stimulating swollen and inflamed gums.

Gingival bleeding caused by systemic factors usually has a large amount of bleeding, is often widespread spontaneous bleeding, and cannot stop on its own. There are no obvious local irritants in the oral cavity, and the oral mucosa and gums may have varying degrees of color abnormalities and characteristic organic changes. In addition, there may be obvious systemic symptoms, such as weakness, fever, hepatosplenomegaly, generalized lymphadenopathy, loss of appetite, and progressive systemic functional failure.

Some women experience bleeding gums during menstruation and pregnancy. Spontaneous bleeding may occur, and the gums may also feel itchy, swollen, and painful. This is because they usually have mild gingivitis, and when the estrogen level in the body increases, the symptoms of gingival inflammation and bleeding become more severe.

deal with

Since there are many reasons for bleeding gums, it is necessary to find out the cause in order to effectively prevent and treat it. If you are deficient in vitamin C, in addition to taking vitamin C tablets under the guidance of a doctor, you should also pay more attention to supplementing your diet with foods rich in vitamin C and eat more fruits and vegetables. If it is periodontitis, you must take anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor and go for follow-up visits as ordered by the doctor. You cannot stop taking the medicine at will.

prevention

⑴ If the irritation and bleeding is caused by poor oral hygiene and a large amount of dental plaque and tartar (this situation is the most common), you can go to the dental department and ask the doctor to clean your teeth, remove the dental plaque and tartar (commonly known as teeth washing, medically known as scaling and scraping), and take oral antibiotics for 1 week. The gingivitis will disappear quickly and the bleeding will stop. Generally speaking, even if there is no gum bleeding, you should have your teeth cleaned once every six months to a year.

⑵ If the bleeding gums are caused by residual roots or crowns, the residual crowns and roots should be removed and dentures should be replaced later; if the bleeding gums are caused by poorly made braces or poor restorations, new braces should be made or the teeth should be re-filled.

⑶ Women should pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene during menstruation and pregnancy. Usually, gum bleeding will be significantly reduced after menstruation and pregnancy.

⑷ Choose a new type of health toothbrush, avoid brushing your teeth horizontally, and use the vertical brushing method to prevent irritating the gums and causing bleeding.

⑸ If there is large-scale spontaneous gingival bleeding of unknown cause, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether there is a blood system disease. Especially hidden blood diseases. Pay close attention, look for causes from multiple perspectives and deal with them promptly.
