Patient's Query

Hello doctor,

Blood comes from my teeth, and my teeth are going to lose their grip.

How can I stop this blood that is coming from my teeth, and how can I strengthen them?

Please help.

Thank you.

Hello,

Welcome to icliniq.com.

Gum bleeding and gum recession or weakness are signs of a gum condition called gingivitis. Gingivitis is the inflammation of the gums caused by constant irritation from tartar/calculus (hardened yellow deposits on the tooth). Food deposits or plaque that settle on a tooth get calcified in the long run and become a hardened calculus deposit. Constantly irritated gums become weak and start to bleed when we brush or in the morning, after waking up.

A professional scaling and polishing procedure is done by an ultrasonic scaler instrument to remove the calculus. Once removed, the gums take a day to heal, and the gum bleeding will stop the next morning. Please visit your dentist and get this procedure done.

This procedure can be done once in 6 months if required. Although we do a proper brushing every day, there are certain spots between teeth where the bristles fail to reach. So, a professional tooth cleaning is always advised once in a while. There are certain brushing techniques that can be followed to prevent calculus accumulation. Get to know that from your dentist, and please do follow them.

1. Follow a healthy diet and lifestyle.

2. Get a dental checkup once in 6 months. (To diagnose any issues, if present, at the earliest).

3. Follow proper oral hygiene by brushing twice daily, especially before bed, and rinsing your mouth after every meal. This way you will have a healthy teeth and gums.

I hope this helps.

Thank you.
