Gum bleeding in morning
My gum between two starting wisdom teeth on the left side bleeds a very little amount of blood mixed in saliva only in the morning almost daily since last one year....once or twice it got stopped for a month and then it started again....
I dont have any pain in gum or teeth...and the oral hygiene seems to be fine..
My general health condition is also fine..
I brush my teeth daily before going to bed.
It happens only in the morning when i wake up. For rest of the days it remains fine...sometime when i press my finger over that it also bleeds a little..
I visited dental clinic twice..They did scaling and said its normal
But i am worried since it's happening almost
daily from last one year specifically at one point of the teeth.
Kindly advice
Thanks and Regards.
Hi
If the gum bleeding is generalized it may be due to deposits(plaque and calculus) which causes Gingivitis which is the reason for gum bleeding....IF the gum bleeding is localised in relation to wisdom tooth it may be due to wisdom teeth
Wisdom teeth is one that fails to erupt in its normal position in the given period of time
Consequences of wisdom teeth
**Pericoronitis(Gum swelling and bleeding)
**Bad breathe
**Jaw soreness
**Trismus (Difficulty in opening the mouth)
**Cyst formation
If the bleeding is due to deposits you need to go for scaling and curettage(cleaning the root surface)
If it is due to wisdom teeth then you need to go for surgical removal followed by analgesics and antibiotics
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for further clinical examination and management
