What Causes Gum Bleeding?
Question: I am getting bleeding from the gum from last week and so. Can you please tell me how i can stop this ?
Brief Answer:
Usually happens due to plaque
Detailed Answer:
Hi
Thanks for your query.
Bleeding of the gums usually happens due to plaque deposition on teeth. To get it removed you will need to see a dentist. You should also take vitamin C tablets. Also use mouthwash for dental hygiene.
An uncommon cause can be bleeding disorders. Thus if it does not stop, then you will need to get tested for them.
I think there is not much to worry and dentist should be able to help you.
