Answers:
Usually the gums bleed if there is some kind of gum infection - check out gum disease on the search engine.
Well the hygienists didnt do a good job then.
He should have spotted your gum disease.
Get an xray done by four dentist.
It sounds like a bit of gum disease. Just keep brushing your gums-gently- with a soft toothbrush and it should stop in a few days
gums bleed for many different reasons.
1. if you catch them by accident.
2. there is a gum infection
3. brushing too hard.
dont worry too much, its nothing major mine bleed all the time, if however it hurts when you brush deffo go back.. tc x
plaque on your gums
You definitely have gum disease. Take the advice the hygienist gave you and the infection might go away. It's all down to poor hygiene. If you keep the plaque at bay then the gums have a chance to heal properly. Don't worry too much about the bleeding but if you are worried phone the hygienist and don't avoid the issue.
This happend to me not so long back. If you go to your local pharmacy you can get a mouthwash (cant remember what is called, think it begins with "C") You can get it in mint (Which I have) or origional. After using it you shouldn't drink coffee or black currant for a while cos it will stain your teeth but will come off once you've brushed them again.
I don't think it's a big problem. It's prbably not gum disease if it happened for the first time... Mine bleed all the time. Maybe you changed you toothbrush (that always makes mine bleed) or cut your gum while flossing, or maybe you cut your gum with something you ate (you won't feel it at first but think about how hard it would be for a scratch to heal with all that saliva around). Wait a few days and see if they bleed again.
Bleeding probably due to mechanical insult by hygienist and you. Swish hydrogen peroxide around in mouth twice a day.
If bleeding continues or recurs, see dentist.
Perhaps your gums are still sensitive and you might need to be more gentle with them. There are many reasons for bleeding gums. Bleeding gums that doesn't give you pain are the normal symptoms of gum disease. Ask your dentist if you want to find the right remedy for it. Good luck!
Go to your dentist or dont brush to hard when brushing your teeth
