GINGIVAL BLEEDING

Many people experience gingival bleeding when brushing their teeth, and gums often bleed when they eat toast or apples.
In this case we tend to brush our teeth more carefully and avoid the consumption of hard foods. In most cases, bleeding is caused by gingivitis. It is possible that the gums are damaged or more haemorhagic, but bleeding may also be a symptom of diabetes, for example. It is advisable to see a dentist who is familiar with oral diseases and who can determine what is causing the problem. It is common for gingivitis to be an isolated condition, disease, but it can also be caused by vitamin deficiencies, injury – if the gingival papilla is damaged by a toothpick – dental calculus or plaque. The inflammation causes the part of the maxilla that holds the teeth, i.e. the alveolar bone, to break down, degrade and if treatment is not started in time, this can lead to tooth loosening and tooth loss. This is why it is important to treat inflammation. The dentist first removes the subgingival and supragingival calculus.
If the doctor does not prescribe any other treatment, it is important to brush your teeth thoroughly with a strong toothbrush, but the gingiva and the area between the tooth and the gingiva should also be cleaned, as plaque can cause further inflammation. Do not be alarmed if you experience heavy bleeding when brushing. This will stop, but if it does not, the doctor can reduce the inflammation with brushing, creams or medication. Oral irrigators can complete oral care, but it is important to ask your dentist for advice on how to use them.
