FAQ: Bleeding Gums

Click here to read about diseases affecting gum tissue

Are bleeding gums hereditary?: I'm 16 years old and for as long as I can remember, I've had bad gums. They bleed whenever I brush and I constantly get infections, mostly on my upper gums above my molars. I swish with hydrogen peroxide when I have this problem and use Listerine, as well as brush my gums vigorously. My father has the same gum problems, as well. Could this just be a hereditary thing that's not much to worry about? When I went to the dentist for this problem, they gave me an antibiotic and it did work. He said the infections might be caused by stress, and I am taking midterms now. How can I make it so my gums will stay healthy for good? ...Visitor from NY (answer)
Shifting teeth causes bleeding gums?: I recently, within the last few months, noticed that when I brushed, my gums would often bleed. I have also noticed that the gums are almost "eroding" away on a few teeth. It has been roughly 8-12 months since I saw a dentist. I've never really had any problems with my teeth before. I brush regularly. However, my mouth is somewhat crowded. Is this the effect of my teeth moving around as I am getting older? I'm im 26 years of age. ...Visitor from Pensylvania (answer)

Special Toothpaste and Gels for Gingivitis: I have recently had bleeding gums while being abroad. I used mouthwash, tooth paste and gum gel specific for Gingivitis. I thought they were getting better, but they got worse. I touch the gums with my finger and they start bleeding. My teeth feel sensitive and I feel like they are moving, but not loose. What do you think causes this? Do you think they could be infected and my teeth could fall out? The gums are swollen and red, and the inside of the gums feel irritable! ...Visitor from England United Kingdom UK (answer)
Bleeding Gums: I have never had any dental problems before. But I think I contacted some dental disorder from a girl that I kissed. Since then my gums bleed continously. I do not think it is gingivitis since my gums look strong and they are not red. I have also noticed that I have chronic bad breath. I have gone to a dentist but all they say is that I am suffering from a vitamin C and A deficiency. But I think it might be bigger than that. The bleeding is worst when I am brushing and when I am sleeping. At any given time, when I spit even my saliva is somehow reddish because of the bleeding. Please, please help am desperate. ...Visitor from Ukraine (answer)
