What to do if your gums are always bleeding? These methods can help you

There is no need to worry about occasional bleeding gums, but if they bleed frequently, you should be concerned, as you may have a disease. Experts say that patients with frequent gum bleeding should supplement their nutrition in time and eat more fruits and vegetables; they should also clean their teeth in time to avoid causing other oral diseases.

1. Nutritional supplement

Lack of vitamin C can cause bleeding gums. 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. Do not stop taking the medicine at will.

2. Teeth cleaning

Dental tartar can easily cause the accumulation of dental plaque, leading to gingivitis, bleeding gums, and periodontal disease. Therefore, after teeth cleaning treatment, the calculus on the neck and adjacent surfaces of the teeth is removed, and gingival bleeding will be greatly improved.

Other suggestions:

First, avoid using the horizontal brushing method when brushing your teeth.

However, horizontal brushing is the common method of brushing. Many people use hard-bristled and large-headed toothbrushes to use gravity to do a sawing-like horizontal brushing, which causes brushing injuries such as gum recession, exposed tooth roots, and wedge-shaped defects in the tooth neck. Therefore, the correct approach is to use a toothbrush with two rows of twelve bristles and adopt the vertical brushing method. That is, when brushing the upper teeth, the bristles should brush from top to bottom along the gaps between the teeth; when brushing the lower teeth, the bristles should brush from bottom to top along the gaps between the teeth. Move slowly and repeat on the same area several times, allowing the bristles to thoroughly remove dirt when passing through the junction of the gums and teeth, which also has a massaging effect on the gums.

Second, to enhance the health of periodontal tissues, gum massage can be used.

Gum massage method: After brushing your teeth, use the index fingers of both clean hands to make circular rotation massage on the surface of teeth and gums. You can start from the upper and lower back teeth and gradually move forward. Once in the morning and once in the evening, each time for 10 to 15 minutes. However, massage should not be performed during acute inflammation. If there is a lot of tartar accumulation, you should ask a dentist to scrape it off before using gum massage.

The third is teeth tapping

Bite the ball dozens of times with your empty mouth every morning and evening. There should be a sound when you bite, which can strengthen the periodontal tissue and promote blood circulation. Doing this often can make the teeth strong and painless.
