Bleeding while brushing

Question

Asked for Male, 28 Years

I have been seeing blood coming out while brushing for past 1 week. Initially, I thought it to be a minor issue which would get fine with time but it did not stop and now it has become a daily routine. I got a picture of my tooth clicked and I see some yellow kind of stuff near the top and bottom part of the mouth and blood can be easily seen.

Hi..this problem is called Pyorrhoea in general terms and Gingivitis with periodontitis in dental terms. This happens if more and more calculus (yellow deposits) settle in and around tooth and gum region. It can be solved by ultrasonic scaling and laser gum treatment followed by use of some gel and mouth wash given by the dentist. If it is advanced case then it might need Gum flap surgery with bone graft based on x-ray ( OPG). Visit a nearest dentist soon. Regards
