Probably you are like me in that genetically you have thin gum tissue. \n\nThe best solution is to use only a sulcus toothbrush to clean the gumline and a regular soft toothbrush on the teeth only.\n\nYour cut gum tissue should heal gradually within a week. If you need help to control bleeding or soreness, I recommend having your dentist or peridontist prescribe Peridex (chlorhexidine gluconate). If the tissue, does not heal as expected, see a periodontist. Peridontists are much more competent than dentists concerning the gums.

You might have a bad tooth and not know it. See a dentist. Your teeth can also bleed from brushing to hard.

Well make sure that you floss everyday aleast once day. Brush your teeth 2 twice a day also use listerine mouth wash. Reason why you are bleedig is because you might be either brushing to hard or you might have gum disease.  Check with your dentist

It's actually bad for your gums, not your teeth. You're brushing for way too long.

My mother works for an oral surgeon and I am familiar with wisdom teeth extractions. This is normal for you to still have some bleeding. If it continues by Tuesday, I would recommend that you call the surgeon. \nAs far as dry socket, you will know right away if you develop this. It is pretty painful. Keep rinsing with the salt water, and you should be fine. Avoid drinking things through a straw, this will make things worse.\nThanks and I hope you're feeling better soon!

This depends on what caused it to tear and split.  If it is due to an injury it should heal on its own.  If it is torn due to neglect of proper care, then you may need to see a dentist and have them diagnose the cause of the problem.  This could be a chronic or acute infection that needs immediate care to prevent tooth loss.

You'll be fine!  It's been 2 weeks.  We recommend not spitting or sucking on a straw for the first few days b/c the clot needs to stay in your socket to protect your bone.  Your gums should be healing now.  The clot should be dissolved.\nIf you had dry socket you would be in tremendous pain due to bone exposure.  Dull pain is common.  You are still in the healing process.\nIt should be fine to use a straw now.  \nTake some ibuprofen for the tenderness.  Ibuprofen is an anti-inflammatory and will reduce any inflammation.

Yes, it is normal to experience some sensitivity after this has been done! If the sensitivity persists, tell your dentist!

It sounds like you had a lot of teeth pulled - ouch!  I bled for almost 10 hours after my wisdom teeth were pulled, but it takes a long time for me to clot.  My dad is a dentist and he told me that the best thing to do is to continue taking your meds and bite down - hard - on the gauze the dentist gave you.  It will hurt, but you have to bite down for at least 30 mins very hard, then take 20 mins off and repeat.  Keep doing it until there is no more blood in the gauze.\n\nGood luck and rest up ;)

Make sure you apply pressure for like 15 minutes to stop bleeding (if any). And wash cut with soap and water *don't use alcohal, it will make it worse. Pat dry. I know this sounds wierd, but I've heard this and tried this before, sprinkle powdered cinnimon lightly on cut and use a bandaid-really works to heal fast (I work in a restaurant so I need cuts to heal fast). Try not to mess with it either, you don't want an infection.Good Luck! *tip-make sure you do let the cut air dry too, your skin needs to breath in order to heal*

You def. need to brush and floss everyday.  Don't use any toothbrush except for a soft one, any other is too hard and can cause more damage then good.  Visit your dentist reg. for a check up and cleaning. You are also correct about the vitamins.  If you are low on vitamin C and vitamin B, this can give you a higher incidence of bleeding, sore gums.  Vitamin def. alone does not cause bleeding gums, it just makes it worse when you are not removing the plaque and bacteria every day by brushing and flossing.  So visit your dentist and get on a  healthier regime of brushing, flossing, and eating.  Take a multi-vitamin and eat lots of Leafy green vegetables high in iron.

you have the start of gingivitis - this is the start of periodontal disease. if left untreated this will result in the loss of bone that supports your teeth and eventually you lose your teeth.\nthe bleeding is a sign of inflammation and irritation of the soft tissue or gums. \nkeep brushing your teeth even though blood is present. \nrinse with either a warm salty rinse - half teaspoon salt into a glass of warm water or use a product called savacol produced by Colgate. read the instructions.\nbut this will only be a short term solution.\nyou need to see a dentist or even a hygienist to have your teeth cleaned and instructions on how to stop this from happening again.\n to maintain a healthy smile, teeth and gums - you should be seeing a dentist every 6 to 12 months.

Yes, this is usually a sign of gingivitis which is the 1st stage of periodontal disease.  It is also an indication of poor oral hygiene.  Make sure to brush reguarly (2-3) times per day for at least 2 minutes with a soft toothbrush and also make sure to floss at least once a day.  You will notice that as you begin to do this on a regular basis that the bleeding will stop and the gums will become healthy again.  However, the first step you need to take is to get in to see your dentist for a cleaning and an evaluation and make sure you continue to see your dentist every 6 months for regular check-ups.

Floss, Floss, Floss.   Her gums bleed perhaps, because she has changed her hygiene regimen. Unless your daughter has some type of immune dysfunction associated with gingivitis(juvenille periodontitis).  The most common cause of bleeding gums is lack of gum health(gingival tone)  Gum tone is achieved with flosing and brushing consistently.  Gums may bleed for a few weeks after starting a new hygiene regimen, but eventually  as the tone(health) is achieved the bleeding and sometimes smell goes way down.  This is why many times when a person starts a new flossing regimen they are put off because suddenly gums that have never been touched by anything except food or bacteria, are flossed and they bleed, Gradually, however, with consistency gum tone will be achieved and the bleeding should go away.
