I am brushing my teeth everyday,
But my gum is still bleeding frequently. So annoying.
Bleeding gums is not terrible
There are probably few people who have never encountered bleeding gums, right?
Have you also encountered that, occasionally biting an apple, in addition to the tooth print… there are actually two red marks in the apple. When I am kissing, there was a salty taste. The bubbles spit out from brushing my teeth occasionally contain blood…
Although we don’t want gum bleeding, most of the time we shouldn’t worry about it. Bleeding gums are only local inflammation of the gums. Brushing your teeth correctly (taking into account the teeth and gums) and using dental floss can get good effect.
Our goal is not to never bleed, but not to bleed in most cases.
Why do gums bleed?
The healthy gum is pink. When you look closely, they are actually very tough. If you blow the water dry, you can sometimes see some granular bumps on the gums, like an armor to protect your teeth.
What if inflammation occurs? We will find that the gums are no longer “pink” or “tough”, their color changes to bright red or dark red, and they become more swollen in shape, like an inflated balloon, and feel the sensation of bleeding after a prick—in fact, it is. In this way, it may bleed with a light touch.
What causes these inflammations?
➊ Dental calculus stays between the teeth and gums for a long time, and chronic inflammation causes bleeding of the gums;
➋ Poor restorations, such as porcelain teeth that have been in disrepair for a long time, and movable dentures that compress the gums may cause bleeding;
➌ The method of brushing teeth is too violent, and gum trauma causes bleeding;
➍ Systemic diseases, especially leukemia, chronic liver disease, etc.
The fourth reason is relatively rare, so it is better to give priority to dentistry visits for bleeding gums to let the doctor see what is going on. If you suspect any systemic disease, you can also find out through follow-up examinations.
How to deal with bleeding gums?
Wash your teeth, brush your teeth, and floss your teeth.
In most cases, gum bleeding is not a “fatal illness” or “incurable disease”. As long as the periodontal disease is actively treated, especially for gum bleeding caused by the accumulation of dental calculus, one tooth washing every six months to a year will cause a lot of trouble. Good results. It not only cleans up dental calculus and restores healthy gums, but also a comprehensive inspection of the oral cavity.
However, tooth cleaning is not a panacea. In fact, tooth cleaning can only remove the calculus located above the gum cover, but it can do nothing for the “deep” calculus covered by the gums. At this time, you need to take the method of subgingival scraping to clean up.
In addition to washing teeth, the importance of oral hygiene in daily life cannot be ignored. Brush your teeth, especially your gums. Learn about the improved Pap brushing method.
In addition to brushing your teeth, using dental floss or a flusher to clean the plaque between your teeth is also a good way to control gingivitis.
What is not needed for bleeding gums?
The first is not to be anxious. Although a small number of bleeding is related to serious systemic diseases, most of them are oral problems. No matter how careful you are, it is unavoidable to happen occasionally. Don’t be afraid to see bleeding gums.
Secondly, we must not deceive ourselves. Using some “anti-bleeding” toothpaste and “over-soft” toothbrushes is actually to cover up the condition, not a long-term solution. It is undeniable that some pharmaceutical ingredients can temporarily reduce gum inflammation, but they are not the main treatment method. After a long time, they may also cause other problems.
Bleeding gums is not a major problem. It is left to the dentist to judge and learn basic oral hygiene knowledge.
