Hi, my gums bleeds sometimes even without touching them, if i gargle they bleed, i brush and floss. Now during the month of ramadan they bleed more. its total blood just red and it might take about 5/6 minutes to stop. last time i went to dentist she said i have something called periodedentitis. i think i floss and brush correctly. Thank you for your help in advance. Regards asmat
Hello and welcome to Chat Doctor forum as mat, i would like to inform you that according to the dental history provided by you, you have periodontitis, it is a condition where you gum as well as tissue that holds your tooth in place is infected and inflamed and in order to treat this condition you need to take care of your oral hygiene very well. Brush your teeth with a soft bristle brush, rinse your mouth after every meal, get your teeth cleaned every 6 months, visit your dentist for regular check -ups, and message your gums with your finger every day for a minute. Also, ask your dentist to prescribe vitamin C and B12 supplements.I wish you good health.
