What Is The Trace Of Blood In Mouth In The Mornings?

hi , I often have a small trace of blood in my mouth in the morning. It is not there every morning and i can go for weeks with nothing at all, then it may appear for days at a time. As soon as I rinse my mouth out with water it is gone. I am 43 and a very light smoker but am also over weight ! Any ideas what this could be and what I should do? Thankyou

From the description of the problem, i feel you have mild gum infection. Think of when you had your professional cleaning of your teeth done. If it was done more than a year ago, then I think its time to visit your dentist. Any general practitioner can solve this problem. Smoking is also a risk factor for gum infection. Opt for a soft brush and donot brush your teeth vigourously. you can use any commercially available mouthwash for gargling. U should gargle atleast for 60 seconds and donot rinse your mouth after that for half an hour.
