If you notice that the gums are bleeding, then the body signals that it needs your help. An exception can be considered a single case when the cause of bleeding was mechanical damage. In other cases, you need to understand the causes of this phenomenon.
Why does the gum bleed?
Most often, irregular hygiene procedures in the oral cavity contribute to the accumulation of plaque between the teeth. After a while, it turns into tartar. The microbes that live in it just cause an inflammatory process on soft tissues.
If your gums bleed between your teeth, it may indicate that you are not flossing properly. It is not necessary to choose a thread that is too thin, and also try to penetrate the gum tissue as deeply as possible. Sometimes brushing too hard during brushing can cause mechanical damage.
Irregular visits to the dentist, as a result, tartar does not make it possible to timely diagnose an incipient infection in the mouth. We ourselves can learn about gingivitis or periodontal disease only when the disease has already reached its peak. In addition to bleeding, gums recede, pain and itching are noted. In addition, one of the most unpleasant companions of oral infections is the putrid smell of the breath.
Bleeding gums aren't just caused by infection and poor cleaning of plaque. It can be a banal lack of vitamins, and hormonal imbalance. A weakened immune system or poor blood clotting can also cause bleeding gums.
In any case, whatever the cause of the problem, the best option is to visit a doctor. After all, a correct diagnosis will allow you to eliminate the disease faster and more efficiently.
