Why do gums often bleed?

A friend of mine said. Why do gums often bleed? By the way, do your gums bleed often? But you don’t know what exactly causes the bleeding? Healthy gums are pink and pliable (this is important). If your gums are often red, swollen, congested, and soft, it means that your gums are in “trouble”. There are many reasons for bleeding gums. 1. In terms of oral cavity (gingivitis, periodontitis), the most common causes of bleeding gums are “gingivitis” and “periodontitis”. This is due to poor oral hygiene, and a large amount of plaque accumulates over time. The “calculus” that stimulates the gums is difficult to remove with a toothbrush, so the calculus will continue to stimulate the gums, causing inflammation of the gums, bleeding, gum recession, and loose teeth. 2. Systemic diseases Some systemic diseases can also cause bleeding gums, such as “leukemia”, “diabetes”, “hemophilia”, “hypersplenism”, “pernicious anemia” and “cirrhosis of the liver”. If the gums bleed repeatedly, or the skin often has some blue-purple spots, and symptoms such as yellow complexion and general weakness, you should do blood and liver function tests in time. 3. Others (the way of brushing, menstruation, pregnancy) when brushing too hard will cause bleeding gums, this editor will not say more, you know what to do. Bleeding gums in women during menstruation and pregnancy is due to mild gingivitis at ordinary times. When estrogen in the body increases, the gums become inflamed, and the bleeding symptoms are aggravated. It may also be related to vitamin deficiency and dental calculus. After understanding the cause of bleeding gums, it is necessary to “prescribe the right medicine”. 1. Bleeding gums caused by calculus If you have bleeding gums caused by calculus, then you have to wash your teeth to remove the “culprit” that irritates the gums. If you have developed periodontitis, there is no cure for periodontitis. Oh, it can only be controlled and improved slowly. If necessary, treatment methods such as supragingival scaling and subgingival scaling should be adopted, and then related treatments should be coordinated. Of course, scaling is harmless, scaling is harmless, scaling is harmless, and important things have been said three times. What we need to focus on is the disinfection of scaling appliances. 2. What should I do if the teeth still bleed after scaling? 1. Change toothpaste 2. Change toothbrush, electric toothbrush, 3. The brushing method needs to be changed, you can use general-purpose Pasteur brushing 4. Buy a bottle of mouthwash, but don’t use it often dishes
