Why do teeth often bleed?

There are many reasons for gingival bleeding, which is one of the common symptoms of oral diseases. Generally divided into local type and systemic type: gingival bleeding caused by local causes is common in patients with gingivitis and periodontitis. Because these patients don't brush their teeth often, or the brushing method is incorrect, tartar is produced at the gingival margin. Dental calculus is a kind of hard lime-like substance, which can stimulate the gums and make them inflamed, swollen and congested, ranging from bleeding when brushing teeth, sucking, biting hard objects or picking teeth to bleeding when slightly stimulated or not. If inflammation and high fever change the vascular structure of gingival tissue, it will also cause bleeding. Gum bleeding caused by oral diseases is more common in gingivitis and periodontitis. In addition, improper dentures, food impaction, periodontal injury, etc. can all cause gingival bleeding. Some will leave bleeding marks on the toothbrush. People don't have to worry about this situation, because the bleeding will stop soon after brushing their teeth. In addition, if dental caries has destroyed the crown (medically called residual crown), there is sharp enamel tissue on the surface of the residual crown, which cuts the gums like a knife, causing gingival bleeding; Some people accidentally eat bones and cause gum bleeding, but this bleeding only happens on the gums of individual teeth. After removing the residual crown and bone spur, the bleeding stopped. Some people bleed because of improper use of toothpicks. If you stop picking your teeth or correct the naming method of toothpicks, the bleeding will soon stop.

To prevent gum bleeding, we should pay attention to the following points:

(1) If the oral hygiene is poor and there are a lot of tartar and tartar, which is the most common situation, you can go to the stomatology department to ask a doctor to wash your teeth, remove the tartar and tartar (commonly known as tooth washing, medically called scaling), and take oral antibiotics 1 week, the gingival inflammation will be eliminated quickly and the bleeding will stop. Generally speaking, even if there is no gingival bleeding, you should wash your teeth 1 time every six months to one year.

(2) If gingival bleeding is caused by residual roots and crowns, the residual roots and crowns should be removed before denture implantation; If the braces are not good or can't be repaired well, it is necessary to make braces or fill teeth again.

(3) Women should pay attention to maintaining oral hygiene during menstruation and pregnancy. Usually after menstruation and pregnancy, gingival bleeding can be significantly reduced.

(4) Choose a new type of health toothbrush to avoid forcibly brushing teeth horizontally, and adopt a vertical brushing method to prevent gingival bleeding.

5] In case of unexplained large-scale spontaneous gingival bleeding, you should go to the hospital as soon as possible to determine whether there is a blood system disease. Especially recessive hematological diseases. We should attach great importance to it, find out the reasons in many ways and deal with them in time.
