Patient's question:
Last year, I started breaking out when I started washing my face, and this year, I'm experiencing the same symptoms again, along with very bad bad breath. Even my child doesn't want to talk to me anymore. What's going on?Doctor's answer:
Bleeding gums are one of the common symptoms in dentistry. Bleeding gums are commonly seen in gingivitis. It can also occur in other systemic diseases, such as leukemia, after exposure to radiation, autoimmune diseases, etc. Prevention of gingivitis involves brushing your teeth in the morning and evening, rinsing your mouth after meals, thoroughly removing debris and food remnants to prevent the formation of tartar and calculus. Regular visits to the hospital for periodontal cleaning (scaling and polishing) is the best method for dental health. If bleeding gums persist despite removing local irritants and anti-inflammatory treatment, it is advisable to visit the hematology department or internal medicine department for further examination to identify the cause and receive timely treatment.
