What disease does oral bleeding indicate?

Oral health is of concern to many people because the mouth is the main part of the body where people eat. Food undergoes initial decomposition in the mouth before it can be smoothly digested by the stomach and intestines. There are many oral diseases that make patients feel very painful. Among them, oral bleeding is a relatively common symptom. Let’s take a look at what disease oral bleeding is a sign of?

1. Necrotic gingivitis. It manifests as acute inflammatory symptoms with an acute onset, obvious necrosis of the gingival papilla, pain, and bleeding. It is often spontaneous gingival bleeding with a large amount. Patients often have bloody saliva flowing out of their mouths during sleep at night, staining the corners of their mouths and pillows. They also have obvious necrosis of the gingival papillae, pain, and bleeding. It is often spontaneous gingival bleeding, and the amount is large. Patients often have bloody saliva flowing out of their mouths while sleeping at night, staining the corners of their mouths and pillows, causing their family members or the patients themselves to panic and rush to see a doctor.

2. Gingivitis, periodontitis and hyperplastic gingivitis. It is often caused by poor oral hygiene, the accumulation of soft plaque, dental plaque, and tartar on the tooth surface, or local stimulation such as misaligned teeth, occlusal trauma, food impaction, and poor restorations, which cause inflammation, edema, and congestion of the gingival papilla and gums, and rupture of blood vessel walls, causing gum bleeding, especially when brushing the teeth or biting hard objects.

3. Gingival capillary hemangioma and gingival cancer. Severe gingival bleeding may occur when there is mechanical stimulation such as brushing teeth and chewing, or spontaneous bleeding may occur. Systemic factors of gingival bleeding, such as blood diseases: leukemia, hemophilia, pernicious anemia, thrombocytopenic purpura and other systemic symptoms. In addition, due to endocrine reasons, such as menstruation and pregnancy, the gums may become congested and swollen. During pregnancy, tumor-like hyperplasia of the gingival papillae may occur, which is called "gestational gingival tumor", which is very easy to bleed. Generally, the symptoms of gingival tumor and bleeding will disappear after menstruation and delivery.

What to do if you have oral bleeding

1. Rinse your mouth after every meal and at night. Patients with gingivitis can use mouthwash to kill most oral and periodontal pathogens and freshen breath.

2. Brush your teeth every morning and evening. Patients with gingivitis should use medicated toothpaste to brush their teeth. It is best to buy several different medicated toothpastes with hemostatic effects and use them alternately. It is best to use different brands.
