Bleeding Gums?

For the past week (since I saw my dentist for checkup and cleaning which included XRays) when I brush the upper right side of my mouth, the gums bleed. No other place in my mouth than the upper right side. Not a large ammount, but a enough to notice. Gums are not inflamed. No pains. No sensative to hot/cold or swets.





Also from this side of the mouth last night (looking real close with a bright light) I notice on the upper part near the gums on 3rd tooth from the back towards the front is a "divot" or "pit" on the tooth enamel. Bleeding does not come from there when I brush and floss and the bleeding starts.





I really dislike going to the dentist, and at the moment it would be difficult to get to the dentist as I'm homebound due to an accident.

Bleeding Gums?
That sounds normal. I recommend a sonicare electric toothbrush if you don't already have one. It really helps with your gum health.
Reply:I use sonicare and it helps but is hard to use on fresh bleeding gums. I have found a mouthwash and toothpaste that is all natural that is very effective for gum problems it is called Cuprident and can be found at http://www.cuprident.com they actually use it with oncology patients etc Report It

Reply:You have gingivitis......along with about 90% of the population, use listerine and peroxide.
Reply:Maybe it's a cavity. Call the dentist office and ask what it could be before it gets any worse.
Reply:Your gum in that area may just be more sensitive or thinner. Just be more cautious when brushing in that area.
Reply:you def got hte gum desiese called "gengivitis" go to your nearest dentist before it gets worse. I had a friend that had the same thing and they gave him some oral meds and some gel.
Reply:Usually this means you have gingivitis. Listerine and peroxide. Doesn't taste the best, but it helps a lil'.
Reply:Your description indicates a cavity, certainly that´s not where the blood is coming, that´s from the gums, ,seems like you have periodontitis. A dentist (a periodontist) should take a look at that, if it´s not too advanced simple hygiene (brushing, flossing, ,washing) should get rid of it.
