Hello,
I can understand your concern. The deciduous or milk teeth start developing at the age of 6 months in children. As your daughter is 2 years old now, she might have about 8 to 10 teeth in the mouth.
At this age, it is usually difficult to convince the child to brush their teeth and make them co-operate with you in brushing their teeth. Thus,
plaque and calculus accumulate around teeth making gums inflamed and infected. This may cause bleeding while brushing. In addition, if new teeth are in the process of developing, the gums may be sore causing bleeding.
My advise to you is to wait until the antibiotic course is over as bleeding from gums is not that severe a disease that requires immediate attention. After she is healthy otherwise, take her to the
dentist or pedodontist (dentist who specializes in treating children's dental problems) for scaling, mechanical cleaning of teeth to remove plaque and calculus and making gums healthier and stronger. Half yearly visit of a dentist along with proper
oral hygiene will keep this problem at bay in future.
I hope this information helps you. Thank you for choosing HCM. Take care.
Best,
Dr. Viraj Shah
