[11:13, 10/11/2022] Dileep Anna DigiU: Most dental problems start at home.
This article will be a guide to preventing bleeding gums and other dental problems.
The first thing that you need to do is take care of your teeth properly by brushing them twice a day
with a quality toothpaste and flossing once or twice a day. These two habits in particular will help
keep your teeth healthy, as well after it has already been established. Additionally, try to avoid
eating too many sugary snacks or drinks, which can cause tooth decay over time.
It is also important to see your dentist regularly for checkups and cleanings in order to maintain
optimal oral health - ideally once every 6 months. Make sure that they are using the correct type of
cleaning tools for the level of plaque buildup on the surface of the teeth; be honest about any dental
pain you are experiencing and let your dentist know if you want any fillings or other treatments
done during the appointment; go over your home care habits with them so they can

It is important to maintain healthy teeth and gums, as they are the gateway to our bodies.
It is important to note that many people brush their teeth twice a day, but neglect their gums. Gums
are just as susceptible to plaque and bacteria buildup, so it’s essential that we take care of them. The
most common cause for bleeding gums is not brushing enough or using the wrong toothbrush. Well-
maintained gums can prevent tooth decay and gum disease from occurring.
A healthy diet is also necessary for proper oral health care. Eating lots of vegetables can lead to
strong teeth and gums because they contain natural sources of calcium, Vitamin C and Beta
Carotene which are all essential nutrients for oral health.
—
Bleeding gums usually occur when there's gum recession. Which is a normal part of aging.
Some of the common causes for bleeding gums are:
- Gum recession - This is a normal part of aging, as the gum tissue at the base of your teeth recedes
in response to lower estrogen levels and slows down calcium production, which can erode teeth
over time. The decrease in tissue height can cause food particles to get trapped below your gum line
which makes it easier for bacteria to accumulate and lead to localized infections.
- Tooth erosion - Tooth erosion occurs when soft tooth enamel is attacked by acids or an erosive
agent such as plaque. It can also be caused by acidic fruits like oranges or lemons, or by foods with
high acid content such as tomato sauce, salad dressing, and cola drinks.
- Poor oral hygiene - Missing out on regular dental checkups causes plaque buildup which leads to
tooth decay and gum disease.
[11:13, 10/11/2022] Dileep Anna DigiU: Bleeding gums is a condition in which the gums bleed after
brushing, flossing or due to other factors. There are many reasons for this condition such as
inflammation, infection and denture wearing area.
There is no single cure for bleeding gums but there are healthy practices that can be adopted. The
first step is to find out the cause of your gum bleeding so that it can be treated. If you have any
issues with your teeth, visit a dentist immediately to resolve the issue permanently before it
worsens.
—
Bleeding gums are usually harmless and rarely a sign of something more serious.
Bleeding gums can be caused by many things so it is important to see the doctor at the earliest and
get the right diagnosis. There are many possible causes for bleeding gums which include: plaque,
dental plaque, oral thrush, dry mouth, leukemia and taking certain medications.
The most common cause of bleeding gums is dental plaque which is usually caused by not brushing
your teeth properly or not flossing daily.

Everybody wants a healthy and beautiful mouth. But what are the reasons behind bleeding gums
and how to get rid of it.
1) Bad oral hygiene: If you don't brush or floss your teeth regularly, plaque will accumulate on the
teeth and cause inflammation in your gums. This can lead to bleeding gums or gum disease that
cannot be reversed by brushing alone.
2) Ageing: As you age, gum tissue thins and becomes more delicate. Gums might bleed when you
brush them, eat certain foods, or use dental floss, for example.
3) Smoking: Smoking can increase your risk for periodontal disease by reducing blood flow to the
tissues around the mouth, which can lead to inflammation in the gums as well as dryness in the
mouth which will increase your risk for bleeding gums.
4) Medications: Some medications may interfere with blood clotting which can lead to increased
blood pressure and increased blood flow in
