Braces and Bleeding Gums?!
Question: Braces and Bleeding Gums!?
I just got braces about two months ago, last week i had them tightened and had no pain at all!. But after a few days I noticed at the roof of my mouth my gums started to swell!. Now throughout the day my gums will bleed!. And this isnt little bleeding, I spit out mouthfuls of blood, it doesnt hurt at all though!. And I brush my teeth about 7 times a day!. What is happening!? Please help!Www@Answer-Health@Com

It most likly has nothing to do with braces!.!. you should only brush your teeth after you eat and not hard because you actually dammage the gums!.!. i use to be ocd about my teeth and brushed every chance i got!.!. which caused my gums to swell and bleed!. and my dentist gave me a soft bristel tooth brush and a special tooth paster for sensitve gums it help alot!.!.and also now i try to stick to only 3-4 times a dayWww@Answer-Health@Com
