What Causes Bleeding From The Mouth After Chewing On Ice?

Hi...I chew ice constantly (I know bad). I also have had issues with my sinus recently. I chewed a piece of ice this morning/a little bit ago, and I had bleeding from somewhere inside my mouth. I am guessing I cut the roof of my mouth. Should I do anything further about this? Can a cracked tooth bleed, or gums that are irritated bleed too I presume? Just curious.....

Hi,

As per your complain it seems that bleeding from inside of mouth seems to be most probably due to any traumatic injury inside the mouth while can also be due to infected and inflamed gums. Cracked tooth would cause more of pain than bleeding.

I would suggest you to consult an oral physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation will be done. In case if there is injury to mucosa of any area inside mouth then doing warm saline gargles, applying antiseptic ointment and cold water rinses can help. Take a soft diet to avoid further irritation. In case if there is gum infection then deep scaling, curettage and antiseptic mouthwash gargles can help.

Hope this information helps. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Thanks and regards,
Dr. Honey Nandwani Arora
