Frequent light bleeding from teeth
My husband bleeds quite often.n particularly during brushing or at night after having dinner when he goes to sleep.It bleeds from behind the teeth in upper jawline but light bleeding.
Bleeding from the gums is a sign of gum inflammation and is called as gingivitis. This can progress to periodontitis which involves erosion of the bone also.
The treatment of this condition is through a process called as scaling which removes the deposits on the teeth which cause gum inflammation. These hard deposits are called as calculus and cannot be removed by brushing alone. After this procedure your dentist will guide you with the best brushing technique to maintain the long term results of scaling.
Regards.
Next Steps
Do not delay this treatment because gum recession and bone loss are the consequences of gingivitis and both of these are more or less irreversible changes.
