BLEEDING GUMS!! i actually have a healthy set of teeth...?

but a few days back i've noticed slight bleeding in my gums when i tried to brush something off that i thought was stuck there.. and these happen to be the front lower jaw teeth! i quickly put some gum antiseptic on it... but is it normal? or would it worsen? am i getting too paranoid? what can i do about it besides seeing a dentist? i got a root canal on a different tooth 5 years back...

To keep your teeth strong and healthy, you really have to take care of your gums to avoid BLEEDING GUMS.


That’s good advice you will get from any dentist so that the simple symptom of bleeding gums will not get into a worse case of gum disease.

Reply:Its most likely the toothpaste you are using or you are brushing too hard.
Reply:Gum bleeding, especially with women can be hormonal, but if your dental cleanings are not up to date it can be a sign of calculus/tartar buildup and gingivitis or gum disease. You need to have the calculus removed every 6 months to help keep it from building up larger and beneath the gums. This can begin to cause gum bleeding and bone loss is left too long. It starts as gingivitis which is simply gum inflammation and bleeding. This is reversible with good oral hygiene and a cleaning. If left too long it progresses to gum disease which means bone loss begins to occur. A cleaning is very important to stop the bone loss and prevent future bone loss. You must maintain regular cleanings and good oral hygiene after this to prevent further bone loss and the teeth loosening and being lost. Good oral hygiene will slow the process. Floss, brush, and mouthwash.
Reply:i think you probably were brushing too hard, but i do agree with spongebob, good hygiene is very important. but since you said you were trying to scrub something off your tooth, that makes me think that you most likely just hurt your gums. you should never brush really hard like that. you want to be very gentle, especially around your gums.
Reply:bleeding gums can be a warning and obvious sign that you are under attack by gum disease. be aware that gum disease shows off a warning sign in the advanced stage. have it checked by a dental expert to get proper treatments.





tooth loss can eventually happen if you left gum disease untreated. if do not pay close attention to good oral hygiene then it can result to gum problems. make it a habit to carefully and properly brush and floss teeth every after meal. this can help remove plaque that sticks around teeth. and can fight bad bacteria that can cause oral infections.
