What is the cause of bleeding between teeth

The phenomenon of bleeding between teeth needs to be taken seriously, because oral health problems have affected and troubled many people. Sometimes bleeding between teeth may also be caused by some systemic diseases. Therefore, in addition to paying attention to your own oral health, you should also pay attention to your physical health.

1. Local causes

Gingival bleeding caused by local reasons is common in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis, who usually do not brush their teeth correctly.

Tartar is a hard, lime-like substance that irritates the gums and can cause inflammation, swelling, and congestion of the gums. In mild cases, the gums may bleed when brushing, sucking, biting hard objects, or picking the teeth. In severe cases, the gums may bleed even with slight or no stimulation. Inflammation or high fever that causes changes in the vascular structure of the gum tissue may also cause bleeding.

2. Caused by systemic diseases

Some gingival bleeding is caused by systemic diseases. This type of gingival bleeding is often one of the clinical symptoms of systemic diseases. It is helpful for the diagnosis of systemic diseases, and treatment should also be done with special caution.

1. Improper dentures, food impaction, periodontal damage, etc. can also cause bleeding between teeth. Some will leave bleeding marks on the toothbrush. People don't need to worry if they encounter this situation, because this type of bleeding will stop soon after brushing their teeth. In addition, if caries has destroyed the tooth crown (medically called a residual crown), there is sharp enamel tissue on the surface of the residual crown, which cuts the gums like a knife and causes bleeding gums.

2. Some people may get bones pierced into their gums due to careless eating, which can also cause bleeding gums. However, this bleeding only occurs on the gums of individual teeth. The bleeding will stop after the residual crown is removed and the bone spur is removed.

3. Some people bleed from their gums due to improper use of toothpicks. This kind of bleeding will stop quickly if you stop picking your teeth or correct the way you use toothpicks.
