What is the reason for constant bleeding when brushing teeth

Many friends find some blood stains on their toothbrushes when brushing their teeth in the morning. Even when eating some harder foods, you will see blood residue on the food. This is actually bleeding gums. Oral experts tell us that the reason why your teeth bleed when you brush them is mainly because you don’t pay attention to your oral hygiene. If not treated promptly, other diseases may occur.

90% of tooth bleeding is caused by gingivitis, and most of it is caused by not paying attention to oral hygiene. People often do not take tooth bleeding seriously because it is painless. According to experts, gingivitis alone can induce a variety of diseases such as heart disease, diabetes, pneumonia and premature birth. Dr. Huang said that bleeding teeth are just a general symptom of gingivitis and are relatively easy to cure. However, when gingivitis develops into periodontitis, once the teeth become loose, it will become very difficult to treat and will also cause greater pain to the person receiving treatment.

It is understood that patients with periodontitis are one and a half times more likely to suffer from heart disease and three times more likely to suffer from stroke than ordinary people. Substances derived from periodontal bacteria that parasitize in the oral cavity will increase the rate of deposition on blood vessel walls after entering the human blood circulation, thereby accelerating vascular congestion and abnormal heart function. When bacteria that live in the mouth enter the lungs through breathing, they can cause pneumonia and aggravate chronic bronchitis and emphysema when the body's immunity is weakened. It is also reported that in recent years, when experts examined patients with acute myocardial infarction, they found that most patients had oral diseases to varying degrees. Therefore, it was determined that the occurrence of myocardial infarction was related to poor oral hygiene. The most common of these were periodontitis and periodontal abscess. Therefore, experts recommend that people pay attention to improving oral hygiene and reducing pathogenic bacteria in the mouth.

How should people pay attention to oral hygiene? Huang Jie believes that if you want to maintain oral hygiene, you must develop the habit of brushing your teeth in the morning and evening and rinsing your mouth after meals, preferably for 2 to 3 minutes each time. In addition, it is best to perform periodontal cleaning every 6 months and go to the hospital for regular check-ups. The correct way to brush your teeth (1) The upper teeth should be brushed in a circular motion from top to bottom; the lower teeth should be brushed in a circular motion from bottom to top; the inside of the upper and lower teeth should be brushed along the gaps between the teeth; the chewing teeth should be brushed in a back-and-forth motion. Brush your teeth for at least 3 minutes. (2) In addition to mastering the correct method of brushing teeth, you must also pay attention to the temperature of the water used for brushing. Teeth should maintain normal metabolism at an oral temperature of 35 to 36 degrees. If teeth are exposed to sudden heat or cold for a long time, it will not only easily cause pulp bleeding and spasm, but also shorten the life of the teeth. (3) After using a new toothbrush for 4 weeks, various bacteria will grow on it. It is best to replace it with a new toothbrush every month.
