What Could Be Red Gums That Bleed And Canker Sore?

Hello. My 24 month old suddenly has very red gums that bleed when I brush her teeth. I know it hurts because she refuses to let me brush now. It seems to hurt when she eats too. She also just had a canker sore heal on the inside of her cheek. I brush her teeth everyday..what could this be?

Hello, Welcome Thanks for consulting HCM,

I have gone through your query, as she had bleeding while brushing it can be due to periodontal problem or erupting tooth .

Dont worry advised her to do warm saline gargle two - three times a day

You can apply ointment Mucopain or Dologel twice daily on canker sore .

Consult dentist and go for oral prophylaxis


Hope this will help you.
