Suggest Remedy For Bloody Gums

My daughter fell face first into the tile floor last night and hit her front tooth... The gums around a couple of her teeth are bloody looking still and my dentist is closed on Fridays... Just my luck! I don't know how to determine the urgency... Take her an hour away to a different dentist or wait until Monday

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query. the reddish color could be because of the hematoma secondary to the impact. There can be a broken tooth or jaw bone. You have to take your daughter to dentist as early as possible and get a radiograph done to rule out any tooth or bone fracture. if there is a tooth fracture then it has to be treated, if it is displace then it has to be repositioned. You can take a course of analgesics and antibiotics. I hope my answer will help you, take care.

Hello,

Read your query, as your daughter had bleeding gums due to trauma for this you should consult dentist as early as possible and in meantime you can apply ice pack on gums control bleeding and you can advise her to do betadine gargle for bleeding .
Take precaution while eating dont give hard food give her liquid soft diet , you can give fruit juice .
Consult dentist for examination and OPG xray for treatment if needed.

Hope it will help you.
Wishing her good health.

Regards,
Dr. Priyanka tiwari
