Blood comes from mouth
My mother is experiencing bleeding from her teeth again, and she had a previous incident where the dentist suggested tooth extraction due to a similar issue. She is diabetic and now facing a recurrence of the bleeding problem. It's crucial for her to consult with a dentist promptly to address this issue and determine the appropriate course of action for her dental health.

Sir, With diabetes, there are incidents of increased Periodontitis (Pyorrhea) or gum inflammation, which may cause the bleeding. You must look for other signs and symptoms associated with this, like pain, sensitivity, or tooth mobility. If there is no decay or increased bone loss, the basic treatment of scaling and root planing can help save the tooth. Diabetes should be under control for better results. Therefore must consult a periodontist for the same. Regards

Hi,
Please meet a dentist immediately. She may be having severe Gingivitis. Is your mother taking any blood thinner tablets? Take an x-ray for the tooth/teeth that are bleeding.
