How to get rid of bleeding gums with bad breath?

Hello doctor,

I am a 26-year-old male, who weighs 132.28 pounds and I am 69.6 inches tall. I am facing problems like bleeding gum, bad breath, and also my gums are getting separated from the teeth. What should I do? My gums bleed on brushing, so I tried using lemon for it.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

The problems you are suffering from are common among people, but you need to know the reason behind it. Bleeding gums are due to wrong brushing techniques or you are not maintaining oral hygiene properly and there is some food lodgement. For this, visit a dentist and get scaling done. You need to maintain oral hygiene properly and brush twice a day. Also, use a soft bristles toothbrush. Bad breath is either hereditary or because of food lodgement or you have a habit of eating spicy food a lot.

For treatment, you need to maintain oral hygiene properly and use mouthwash after brushing your teeth. Rinse your mouth with water after every meal and also avoid eating spicy food. Use mouth freshener. Do not smoke or drink. Gum recession is common and you need to visit a dentist for this. This is caused due to poor oral hygiene and food lodgement. For treatment, visit a dentist and he will cure this with medicines and some procedures. If you have any cavities in your teeth, then get an X-ray done for the same.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
