Can anyone give me dental advice for bleeding gums?!


Question: Can anyone give me dental advice for bleeding gums!?
When I went to the dentist 6 months ago, my gums were bleeding badly while the dental hygienist was cleaning them!. She said it was because I didn't floss enough, which was believable since I only flossed two or three times a week!.

Since then, I have made it a point to floss every night, but when I went to the dentist yesterday, my gums were bleeding even more than they were the last time!. They rarely bleed when I brush or floss so it can't be because I wasn't flossing, but she rolled her eyes at me when I said I floss every day now!.

Are there any other causes of bleeding gums!?Www@Answer-Health@Com


Answers:
Hi! Your gums may be in a more advanced stage of pyorrhea!. First gums bleed then bad breath and in the very end your teeth loosen!. It's a good thing you are nipping in the bud now!. My husband had to get all of his gums pulled off!. They grow back, but not fun!. Keep doing your flossing!. Go up and down near the gum on each side of the tooth!. The first two weeks after you do it it aches sometimes!. I do it sometimes 3 times a day!. You have to strengthen your gums!. Eat lots of crunchy veges, like carrots and fruits like apples and nuts!. Your gums right now are very soft!. Swish salt water in your mouth before you go to bed!. Keep it up for the rest of your life, cuz it is a life long battle!. Good luck!Www@Answer-Health@Com

viadent is a good tooth paste for gingivitus!. If you can't find it just look for toothpaste for gingivitus!. I usually let it sit in my mouth for a few minutes before spitting it out!. This helps cut down on the bleeding!.Www@Answer-Health@Com

First stop flossing as this may be the cause and get to the doctor as and i dont mean to worry so sorry it is a sign of cancer of the mouth or blood Www@Answer-Health@Com

Use Listerine and continue to floss every day!. It's also possible that your hygienist isn't being very gentle if it's the only time they bleed!.Www@Answer-Health@Com
