My gums are were bleeding for 3 hours and they just now stopped?

I was spitting chunks of blood out and I was trying to sleep and now my pillow has huge blood spots on it. My gums still feel very irritated. How serious is this and what should I do? I don't have insurance. This doesn't seem to be normal gum bleeding as there was a lot of blood. It started out kinda small a few days ago, it just got really bad today.

Try a salt water rinse. This will burn a lot but hold the salt water in your mouth as long as possible and repeat several times a day. Also Listerine mouthwash has healing proprieties, it also burns at first as your mouth heals ( Listerine heals after a few uses) then use on a regular basis and it doesn't burn as it prevents problems and mouth sores. Try biting down on gauze until bleeding stops.
Reply:You seriously need to get off the computer and go see a doctor. If they can't help, see a dentist. This sounds beyond typical.
Reply:as i have worked in a dental surgery, the best advise i can give you is to go and see a dentist, this could be a minor problem, but it could also be a bad case of gum disease, and if thats the case, you might want to see a dentist, or you could be at risk of losing your teeth

you need to brush and floss regularly.

Reply:seeing the dentist is the best thing that you can do, there is no one to help you with your condition except the dentist alone.





since bleeding gums can be a sign of gum disease, you must be aware that spotting the early signs can help prevent gum disease. of course, you dentist can recommend a good treatment.





properly brush and floss teeth. make sure that you use a toothbrush that have soft bristles.
