Is bleeding of gums normal??
Question: whenever i brush my teeth, my gums are bleeding, sometimes if i eat fruits like bananas, i see a little blood on it when i take a bite. what does this mean?
Answers: No, it is not normal. You probably have gingivitis, inflammed and bleeding gums. You should get a cleaning and a check up. If left untreated, you leave yourself wide open for periodontal disease, inflammed bleeding gums, bone loss, and periodontal pockets. If that goes untreated, you'll start to lose teeth! So get on top of that.
not usually... you might have gingivitis, or some type of bacterial infection or sensativity. Make an appointment with your dentist...
Sounds like you have overly sensitive gums, talk to your dentist.
See your dentist. You may have gum disease. If that's the case, left untreated you'll lose your teeth.
Dentures are no fun--trust me--all 28 of my plastic teeth are splashing in their little bubble bath right now.
its not healthy but dont be alarmed that they are bleeding. Keep brushing and see your dentist for a cleaning. Its actually a good kind of bleeding in the sense that it is trying to heal. Start brushing and flossing regualry as well as see your Dentist for cleanings 2-3 times a year . In a few weeks you should not see any blood.
bad sign of serious gum disease. Make an appointment for the dentist now...do not wait, this has to be stopped now.
No bleeding is not normal and it is often ignored causing much bigger problems down the road. You could lose your teeth though it will probably take a while. Most people don't have pain until you are the later stages of trouble and if you really want to take care of the situation then it will be costly and time consuming. You probably have gingivitis which may be caused by buildup (plaque and tartar) you cannot fully remove with brushing and flossing. Tartar is hard (like cement) and should be removed by a dental professional (hygienist or dentist). If that is not the case they could help you determine the cause, it might be caused by a medication you are taking or other medical condition. The health of your mouth is effected by the health or your body and vice versa. Brushing 3 times a day (at least) for 2 minutes with floss and a rinse would likely be the best routine for you. The good news is... you can get rid of gingivitis, but if it gets worse it turns into periodontal (bone) disease. Good Luck

FERDINAND,
BLEEDING FROM THE GUMS IS NEVER A NORMAL THING UNDER ANY CONDITIONS.
IF LEFT ALONE, THIS WILL INVARIABLY LEAD TO PERIODONTAL DISEASE WHERE THE SUPPORTING STRUCTURES OF THE TEETH WILL GRADUALLY FAIL AND THE TEETH WILL BE LOST AS A RESULT. THERE IS NO PREDICTABLE NUMBER OF YEARS THAT CAN BE GIVEN FOR THE LOSS OF ONES TEETH. HOWEVER, IF GUM DISEASE IS ALLOWED TO PROGRESS UNCONTROLLED TOOTH LOSS IS GUATANTEED.
no
No, healthy gums do not bleed. You may have gingivitis. It is the first stage of gum disease. If you do not take care of it, it can progress to periodontal disease. Only your dentist can control it with a cleaning along with a mouthrinse. Gum disease is really common so there are alot of treatments your doctor can come up with for you. It's call the silent disease because there is usally no pain associated with it until the final stages when you lose your teeth. Yes, it can lead to bone loss. If there is hard plaque accumulation, your gums receed and forms periodontal pockets between your teeth. These pockets can collect plaque, which your brush cannot reach, and these plaque rot the tooth below the gumline. And once bone loss is lost, it's lost forever. Most brushes only brush the surface and cannot brush below the gumline. Go to your dentist and they prob will give you a cleaning up to your gumline. If it's caught early, gingivitas can be reversed. But periodontal disease there is no cure, only controlling it. See a dentist and get piece of mind now. Good luck! ;)
