What's going on with my bleeding gums recently?

Many people have experienced bleeding gums in their lives, and clinically bleeding gums is a very common oral symptom. However, many people do not take it seriously when their gums bleed occasionally. In fact, this perception is incorrect, because there are many reasons for gum bleeding, so if gum bleeding occurs frequently, you must take a treatment plan in time. Now let’s take a look at what treatment methods are available with the editor!

1. Improper or incomplete brushing leads to tartar formation, which causes inflammation. We need to change bad habits, use a suitable toothbrush and master the correct brushing method. It is generally recommended to brush your teeth once in the morning and evening, and once after meals, and use toothpaste with bactericidal function; secondly, you can perform scaling, that is, teeth washing, to remove supragingival plaque and tartar; some patients with more severe inflammation also need drug treatment, and antibiotics can be used in conjunction with acute inflammation attacks.

2. Vitamin deficiency

In this case, you need to eat more vegetables and fruits, especially supplement vitamin C, such as tomatoes, apples, etc.

3. Systemic diseases

Blood system diseases, gastrointestinal or respiratory tract bleeding, etc., these conditions need to be taken seriously.

Things to note when brushing your teeth

The vertical brushing method is recommended to avoid damaging teeth and periodontal tissues. When brushing the maxillary back teeth, place the toothbrush on the maxillary back teeth with the bristles at a 45-degree angle to the teeth, then rotate the brush head and brush from top to bottom. When brushing the back teeth of the mandible, place the toothbrush on the back teeth of the mandible, with the bristles still at a 45-degree angle to the teeth. Rotate the brush head and brush from bottom to top, brushing the inside and outside in the same way. The method of brushing the lips and face of the upper and lower front teeth is the same as that of the back teeth. When brushing the palatal surface of the upper front teeth and the lingual surface of the lower front teeth, you can stand the brush head upright and brush the upper teeth from top to bottom, and brush the lower teeth from bottom to top. When brushing the biting surfaces of the upper and lower teeth, place the toothbrush on the biting surfaces of the teeth and brush back and forth in a horizontal direction with a little force.

After reading my description, you should now believe that bleeding gums are not just a temporary condition. Many diseases can cause bleeding gums, so it is recommended that you go to a regular dental hospital for a check-up. If it is not caused by disease, then follow my correct brushing method and brush your teeth carefully and correctly!
