Noticed Blood In Mouth After The Usage Of Mouth Guard
Hi,
I started wearing mouth guard 3 weeks ago and I'm not sure if that causes my mouth bleed? I spit out bloodwhen I wake up in the morning. I was wondering if its from my throat or stomach? I don't have a fever or cough. I get my tb check every year and I'm negative on that.is it possible the bleeding is from forcing myself to spit?

thanks for your query, the bleeding from the gums is basically because of the gum infection caused by the deposits on the teeth..the mouth guard might have contacted the gums while removing or wearing that more than enough for an infected gums to bleed..nothing to worry get all your teeth cleaned and maintain oral hygiene. consult a oral physician....you can use mouth washes.. i hope my answer will help you..take care..
