What Causes Bleeding From Palate?

Hi doctor, I use a brace with some dentures for my back teeth. I know I have lost teeth because of gengivitis so I take care to use a soft brush and clean my teeth regularly. But lately, I am bleeding from the palate and I can t use the brace at all, eating is painful. Thanks for your reply.

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concerns..

As per your complain bleeding from palate along with pain seems to be probably due to trauma caused due to any sharp areas on the tissue surface of the denture and continuous trauma can lead to bleeding from the palate..
Pain on eating is due to inflamed mucosa..

I would suggest you to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation can help in diagnosis as well as the brace needs evaluation...

In case if there are any sharp areas over the brace the physician will trim it and make it smooth..

As of now avoid wearing the brace and apply numbing gel containing Lignocaine...
Take anti-inflammatory painkiller like Ibuprofen..
Suck ice pops..
Avoid spicy foods and take a soft diet..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
