Hi, I'm 14. I really never cared much about brushing my teeth, and it's been awhile since I haven't brushed them. I woke up one day and it felt like the right side of my gum was hurting, and I went to go brush my teeth, cause I figured maybe it was a tooth growing in or something, and to my surprise, when I went to go brush them, my teeth or my gums started bleeding, as I noticed on the toothbrush. I kept brushing because I figured I got something. This gum or tooth pain, I don't know which one, has been going on since a month.
Hi! Greetings for the day! As you said you are 14 years old and at this age it is very common to have bleeding gums. There could be two reasons as you are getting new teeth and another one you are attaining puberty. When you attain puberty there will be harmonal imbalance which is happening inside body which leads to swelling in gums and further bleeding whenever you touch it. If it is painful you can take paracetamol tablet whenever it pains otherwise just use mouthwash and keep ice on the area where there is swelling. It would be of help if you would send me a picture of the area concerned. Don't worry it happens during this age and you will fine. Follow up after a week if the problem doesn't resolve will prescribe other medicines. Regards Icliniq.com
