What do you understandby bleeding gums?

Bleeding gums also termed as gingival bleeding which refers to the situation where the gums are swollen because of disregarded cleanliness and any deposit left at the gum line is pro-inflammatory and as its accumulates it causes inflammation of the gum and they will easily start to bleed on any form of friction such as brushing or flossing and many people with this condition have periodontal diseases like gingivitis or periodontitis that, if not addressed, can cause major oral problems.

Write some common causes of it.

Bleeding gums can be caused by Poor oral hygiene and if someone does not brush and floss their teeth frequently then plaque forms, and this breaks the gums, making them to bleed.

1. Vitamin deficiency: Actually, it was understood that failure of some vitamins which include vitamin C and vitamin K makes the blood vessels in the gums fragile and hence bleeds.

2. Medications: Certain medicines including blood thinners or anticoagulants will increase the risk of developing bleeding gums.

3. Hormonal changes: Gingival tissues tend to become more sensitive and bleed during pregnancy, menstruation or menopause due to hormonal changes.

How can we reduce it .

In order to reduce bleeding gum one must follow proper oral hygiene and this entails brushing your teeth with soft bristles, brushing at least twice in a day, flossing and using an antimicrobial mouth wash another thing is regular brushing, flossing and visiting a dentist can also help improve gum health by abstaining from foods high in sugar and avoiding the use of tobacco products as well as taking plenty of fruits and vegetables.

So any person should ensure that they visit a dentist for clean up and check up at least once every six months or as may be advised by the dentist in order to prevent or treat gum diseases so however, if the gums are bleeding even after a few days, one should see their dentist to have the cause of the bleeding bacteria and receive the right treatment in order to avoid any serious harm.

Any natural remedies suggestion on your experience that reduce it

Natural remedy suggestion to my experience is Saltwater rinse when you wish a teaspoon of salt in warm water in your mouth for about half a minute before you intelligently spit the solution and another one i know is clove oil, clove oil has soothing and general anti-bacterial effect that can be employed in eradicating bleeds on the gums so using a cotton swab put a few drops of clove oil in the affected area.

Another one is Aloe vera, Aloe vera is anti-inflammatory that will assist in minimising inflammation as well as aid in wound healing. One way you can use aloe vera is to directly apply the fresh gel on the gums – or – you can search for a natural toothpaste that has aloe vera on the ingredients list.

Gingiva and gum bleeding can be prevented or alleviated from inflammation on the one hand and attack from bacteria on the other hand by tea tree oil. a drop of tea tree oil in water makes a good mouth wash but should be diluted.
