What should I do if my child's gums are bleeding?

Patient's question:

Child's gums are bleeding, as a parent, I am very worried, afraid that the child's condition will worsen. Regarding the issue I just mentioned, I hope the doctor can answer.

Doctor's answer:

Is the baby bleeding gums while brushing teeth or when not eating and not brushing teeth. If bleeding gums occur while brushing, it may be due to improper brushing or excessive force, as the baby's gums are still quite sensitive and prone to injury and bleeding. Other diseases such as leukemia, chronic liver disease, vitamin C deficiency, etc., can also cause bleeding gums. Therefore, if a child's gums bleed, it is recommended to go to a formal hospital to determine whether it is caused by local oral factors or other systemic diseases.
