Patient's question:
The teacher at my son's school said he needs to learn to do things by himself and to keep brushing his teeth. So now, my son brushes his teeth every day. He's getting the hang of it, but there's always some bleeding in his mouth when he brushes. I'm worried about his teeth, so I want to consult about the reason for this situation with my son.What kind of help I want: My child has just started learning to brush his teeth, but his gums always bleed. What's going on?
Doctor's answer:
Generally, gum bleeding when washing the face may be caused by gum inflammation! Plaque, tartar, and other factors can lead to gum inflammation, resulting in skin peeling! However, there are also other causes, such as tartar, cavities, and some systemic diseases that can cause gum bleeding. For example, blood disorders, including various types of leukemia, hemophilia, thrombocytopenia, aplastic anemia, and granulocytopenia, etc. It is recommended to undergo a complete blood count examination to identify the cause of the peeling and receive appropriate treatment.
