What should I do if my teeth keep bleeding when brushing?

In our daily lives, more and more people are suffering from high stress levels, which disrupts their body rhythms and causes bleeding gums when brushing their teeth. If your gums bleed frequently, you should be highly alert because it is often an alarm signal of disease.

It is very important to choose the right brushing method. The correct method is to combine vertical brushing and horizontal brushing. The key points of the vertical brushing method are: when brushing the lips, cheeks and lingual and palatal surfaces of the back teeth, keep the bristles parallel to the long axis of the teeth, point the bristles toward the gingival margin, and make a 45° angle with the long axis, and rotate the toothbrush. When brushing the upper teeth, move the bristles downward along the spaces between the teeth. When brushing the lower teeth, brush from bottom to top. Brush the same area repeatedly 5 to 6 times. The horizontal brushing method is used to brush the occlusal surface of the back teeth and clean the pits and fissures of the occlusal surface, brushing back and forth 8 to 10 times on each side. Bleeding gums themselves are only a symptom of many diseases, not a disease itself. Some systemic diseases can also cause bleeding gums, such as leukemia, hemophilia, pernicious anemia, cirrhosis, hypersplenism, etc. Therefore, if your gums bleed repeatedly, or if purple spots often appear on your skin, accompanied by symptoms such as yellow face and general weakness, you should have blood and liver function tests done in a timely manner. The fourth suspect: aspirin. Dentists suggest: For people who have been taking aspirin for a long time, if they suddenly find that their gums are bleeding while brushing their teeth and are accompanied by nasal bleeding, it is likely caused by the side effects of aspirin. Patients should stop taking the medication and go to the hospital for platelet testing and adjust the dosage under the guidance of a doctor. Another possible cause of bleeding gums is local oral causes - periodontal disease. Patients often bleed when brushing their teeth or eating. Hemostatic drugs and vitamins are ineffective, and simply cleaning your teeth cannot cure the disease. How to treat bleeding gums? Since there are many reasons for bleeding gums, it is necessary to find out the cause in order to effectively prevent and treat it. If you are deficient in vitamin C, 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. You cannot stop taking the medicine at will.

If you want to treat bleeding gums, you have to figure out what causes the bleeding gums. Only by taking the right medicine can you get timely treatment. People whose gums bleed when brushing their teeth can check themselves according to the above aspects and choose the method that suits them.
