i have had this problem for awhile, I ignored it at first but now its really becoming a problem. I have blood , large traces of blood in my saliva . it occurs mostly while im sleeping. I wake up to a mouth full of blood filled saliva. I also notice it when i perform oral sex on my significant other. What could this possibly mean?
Hello & welcome, Blood in the saliva which is seen when you wake up clearly indicates the presence of gingival infection called gingivitis. It is directly associated with failure in maintaining oral hygiene to optimum level or due to faulty brushing & cleaning habits. First, visit your dentist for proper clinical examination to find out any other related cause if any. Get your teeth cleaned (scaling) by dentist thoroughly. Use soft tooth brush by applying light pressure against teeth surface. Use antiseptic mouth wash for short period. Even you can brush your teeth lightly after having your meals to remove any accumulated food debris which is difficult to remove with just gargles. You can use gum paints along with Antibiotics to reduce the bleeding from gingival. Take care.
