Why Are My Gums Bleeding From Past One Hour?

I brushed my teeth about 50 minutes ago, and gums won't stop bleeding. My gums bleed occasionally, but never like this. I eat a lot of green leafy vegetables to help my Macular Degeneration. Do you think that could be the reason? And, how long should I wait until I go to the emergency room?

Dentist,  's  Response
Hello,

Read your query, as you have mentioned about gum bleeding this bleeding gums can be due to some factors that can be due to poor oral hygiene, Nutritional deficiency , Vitamin B , C , K deficiency , congenital bleeding disorder like Heamophillia A, liver disease, renal disease, Drug related .
For this I will suggest you to consult your Dentist and go for oral examination if it is due to plaque or calculus deposition then go for oral prophylaxis .
If it is due to other factor related then you should go for investigations Complete haemogram , activated partial thromboplastin time , prothrombim time , and go for treatment.

Hope this will help you.

Regards,
