My gums are bleeding for no apparent reason. When i brush them they bleed but sometimes they will bleed when im just sitting in front of the tv. This is a resent issue. In the last month maybe. I will make a dentil appointment but in the mean time is there anything i can do?
Hello! Welcome to Chat Doctor. Bleeding gums is common in poor oral hygiene. You did not mention your general health if you are in your menopause, taking any medication etc. This is because of the debris accumulated around your teeth. This cannot be removed at home. I suggest you to see your dentist for a professional scaling. You can only reduce the symptoms in the meanwhile. Gargle with warm saline water thrice daily. If you are known hypertensive, please go for any branded mouth wash with anti-plaque action. You can choose chlorhexidine. Seeing your dentist every 6 months for a screening and scaling is advised. Maintain a good oral hygiene. Regards.
