What Causes Gum Bleeding?

A while ago after brushing my teeth, I was spitting out a orange color blood. it has always been red before. The spot this came from is upper jaw on left side where I have an eye tooth that never came through. I am now 47. My teeth on both sides of where the eyetooth should be are very sensitive to eating, drinking or even touching.

Hello,

It looks like a gum infection that is leading to bleeding from gums on brushing. Sensitive teeth and gum bleeding is probably due to gum infection or gingivitis. So my suggestion is to consult an oral physician, and get evaluated and a thorough clinical examination can be done followed by an x-ray to rule out the severity of the infection.

If it is due to gum infection then a deep ultrasonic scaling can be done followed by a course of antibiotics like Metronidazole and massage the gums with Chlorohexidine gel. Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles.


Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
