When brushing your teeth in the morning, your gums bleed. Here are some things to watch out for to prevent it

Many people will experience bleeding gums when brushing their teeth in the morning. This is a common oral disease, which may be caused by gingivitis, gingival tumors, etc.; it may also be a systemic disease, such as anemia, leukemia, etc. In this case, you must pay special attention and must actively seek treatment.

There are many reasons for bleeding gums, which can be divided into two major aspects. On the one hand, it is caused by local oral factors, such as gingivitis, gingival tumors, etc. On the other hand, there is gingival bleeding due to systemic diseases, such as anemia, leukemia, hemophilia, etc.

1. To prevent gum bleeding, pay attention to the following points:

1. If the irritation and bleeding is caused by poor oral hygiene and a large amount of dental plaque and tartar (this situation is the most common), you can go to the dental department and ask the doctor to clean your teeth, remove the dental plaque and tartar (commonly known as teeth washing, medically known as scaling and scraping), and take oral antibiotics for 1 week. The gingivitis will disappear quickly and the bleeding will stop. Generally speaking, even if there is no gum bleeding, you should have your teeth cleaned once every six months to a year.

2. If the bleeding gums are caused by residual roots or crowns, the residual crowns and roots should be removed and dentures should be replaced later; if the bleeding gums are caused by poorly made braces or poor restorations, new braces should be made or the teeth should be re-filled.

3. Women should pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene during menstruation and pregnancy. Usually, gum bleeding will be significantly reduced after menstruation and pregnancy.

4. Choose a new type of health toothbrush, avoid brushing your teeth horizontally, and use vertical brushing to prevent irritating the gums and causing bleeding.

5. If there is large-scale spontaneous gingival bleeding of unknown cause, you should go to the hospital for examination as soon as possible to determine whether there is a blood system disease. Especially hidden blood diseases. Pay close attention, look for causes from multiple perspectives and deal with them promptly.
