Bleeding from gums
I am having bleeding from my gums for once or twice a day from the same spot between 2 teeth, I do brush my teeth twice a day, also use anti plaque mouth wash to clean my mouth. The gums are also not swollen. There is some pain in the gums and the blood comes out, I drink water and then it stops after some time.
Bleeding from the same spot could mean food lodgement between two teeth and there could be a hidden cavity as well which is causing the gums to swell and bleed. Please visit the dental office and get it checked. Meanwhile do lukewarm water and salt rinses 4-5 times a day to reduce bleeding and inflammation.
