What Causes Bleeding Gums And What Is The Treatment?

Hello!

I am having bleeding gums for a month now. I have never had this problem before coming to England. I thought it was related to a lack of vitamines or lifestyle changes ( I am Italian). However, it's been a month that i take sometimes " paracetamol" which i have never taken before. I read that bleeding gums can be a side effect. Is it true? what should i do now?

Hi.
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

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

As per your complain the most common cause of bleeding from gums is GINGIVITIS which is inflammation of the gums as a result of infection which occurs due to deposition of plaque and tartar over the teeth which leads to bacterial proliferation and the Inflammation caused due to it leads to bleeding from gums..
A few less common causes can be intake of contraceptives in female, hormonal imbalances or changes during pregnancy and menstruation and intake of blood thinning drugs...

You should consult a dentist and get evaluated and in case of infection Scaling of the teeth followed by antibiotics like Amoxicillin and Metronidazole and gum paint application can help..
While if there is some underlying cause correction/treatment of the same can help..

Hope this information helps..
