How can Bleeding Gums be treated ?

0

If long standing inflammation is the cause of bleeding then removal of the source of bacteria will result in improvement of the situation. Proper maintenance of the teeth by the patient is a must. For vitamin deficiency, proper diet or vitamin supplements are recommended. Sore and bleeding gums can be aggravated by citrus fruits and juices, rough or spicy food, alcohol, and tobacco. Take vitamin C supplements, if citrus fruits and juices cannot be taken. If dentures (artificial teeth) make gums bleed, wear them only during meals. Gum bleeding can be controlled by applying pressure with a gauze pad soaked in ice water directly to the bleeding gums. Brush teeth gently (with a soft-bristle toothbrush) after every meal. The dentist may recommend rinsing with salt water or hydrogen peroxide and water. Avoid using commercial, alcohol-containing mouthwashes, which aggravate the problem.
