Bleeding gums when brushing teeth

Gingival brushing bleeding may be caused by a variety of reasons, such as improper brushing methods, gingivitis, periodontitis, systemic diseases, drug effects, etc. Treatment methods include maintaining good oral hygiene, timely medical treatment, screening systemic diseases, correcting brushing methods, adjusting drugs, etc. The correct brushing method should be to gently clean the teeth at an appropriate angle and strength. 2. Gingivitis This is the most common cause. The gums are inflamed due to plaque, dental calculus and other stimuli, resulting in redness and bleeding of the gums. Long-term poor oral hygiene will make dental plaque accumulate near the gum edge, which bacteria and their products trigger inflammatory reactions, making the gums become fragile, easy to bleed under the stimulation of brushing. 3. Periodontitis is more serious than gingivitis. In addition to gum inflammation, it is also accompanied by periodontal pocket formation, alveolar bone resorption, etc. Periodontal tissue destruction makes gum and tooth attachment relationship changes, more prone to bleeding. 4. Systemic diseases such as blood system diseases (Such as thrombocytopenia purpura, leukemia, etc.), these diseases will affect the coagulation function, leading to gum bleeding easily, and bleeding may be difficult to stop. In addition, vitamin C deficiency and other nutritional deficiency diseases may also lead to gum bleeding. 5. Drug effects Some drugs, such as anticoagulant drugs, may increase bleeding tendency. 2. Treatment 1. Maintain good oral hygiene and adhere to correct brushing, flossing, etc. to remove plaque and dental calculus. 2. Seek medical attention in time for oral examination to determine the cause of bleeding. If it is gingivitis or periodontitis, appropriate treatment is required, such as scaling, scaling, etc. 3. Check systemic diseases If you suspect systemic diseases, you should cooperate with your doctor for relevant examinations, such as blood routine, etc. 4. Correct brushing methods Select soft toothbrush and use correct brushing methods. 5. Adjust medications Tell your doctor what medications you are taking so that your doctor can evaluate the impact of drugs on gingival bleeding. In short, although gum brushing bleeding is common, it should not be ignored, and it is necessary to find out the causes in time and take corresponding measures to maintain oral health and general health.
