Why do gums bleed when you suck?

Gums are known as the cornerstone of teeth and are the foundation for tooth growth. The health of the gums is also related to the health of the teeth. Therefore, people attach great importance to the health of the gums and take many protective measures. However, some people have fragile gums and often experience bleeding gums when they suck. What's going on?

Local factors

1. Local irritation caused by plaque and tartar. The accumulation of plaque and tartar can be caused by food impaction, poor restorations, poor oral hygiene habits, etc., causing inflammation of periodontal tissues, such as plaque gingivitis and periodontitis.

2. Other local irritants (non-plaque and tartar) and bad habits. Mechanical, chemical, poor restorations, poor fillings, poor orthodontic appliances and mouth breathing stimulation may cause local inflammation, such as hyperplastic gingivitis and periodontitis.

3. Local tissue allergy. When local contact with allergens occurs, an allergic reaction is triggered. When the gums are affected, the gums become red and swollen and are prone to bleeding. Such as plasma cell gingivitis.

4. Gingival trauma and periodontal surgery.

Systemic factors of gingival bleeding

1. Endocrine changes. Under the influence of increased sex hormones and progesterone, the gingival tissue is slightly stimulated, causing nonspecific inflammation, leading to gingival bleeding, increased exudation, gingival hyperplasia, etc. Such as adolescent gingivitis, pregnancy gingivitis and gingival tumors.

2. Systemic diseases. Such as blood system diseases, diabetes, cardiovascular diseases, abnormal liver and kidney function, tumors, etc. The disease is usually caused by a decrease in the body's immunity, which in turn leads to a decrease in resistance to local stimuli, inducing gingival inflammation; coagulation system disorders; organic changes in blood vessels, changes in blood flow dynamics, etc.

3. Other external factors that act on the whole body. Such as smoking, taking anticoagulants, etc.
