Hi Doctor, I have problem with my gums bleeding all the time especially when I sleep say in the night or just taking a nap. It worries me a lot, even if I brush my teeth in does bleeds as well. Can you please advise what the cause of this problem and what is the best way to help prevent this from happening again.Cheers Mirian
Hi. Welcome to Chat Doctor . I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns. As per your complaint it seems that bleeding from gums can be due to inflammation of the gums secondary to infection and as the inflamed tissues have more premature blood vessels that tend to bleed easily therefore slight stimulation as well as at times even no stimulation can cause bleeding. More bleeding at night can be due to mouth breathing habit. I would suggest you to consult a Dentist and get evaluated, and he can do a thorough Scaling of the teeth and remove all the Infectious deposits and along with a course of antibiotics, anti-inflammatory painkiller and topical application of gum paint, antiseptic mouthwash gargles and massage with antimicrobial Oral ointment. Hope this information helps. Thanks and regards. Chat Doctor.
