whenever I brush my teeth there is some bleeding at times.
Brief Answer:
It is just inflammation of gums
Detailed Answer:
Hello, First of all thanks for approaching Healthcaremagic for your query. I read through your query.
I must say that there is nothing much to worry in this case. Blood coming during brushing is due to inflammation of gums(gingivitis). It can be reduced by having a scaling of your teeth by dentist. I suggest you to visit a periodontist and get scaling done. It should be done in every 6 months.
The calculus and debris on your teeth cant be removed by usual brushing. Also have lots of citrus fruits and drink lots of water. Dried blood on your lips can be due to either dryness of lips resulting in break of lips.
It can be reduced by applying petroleum jelly or moisturising cream on your lips before sleeping. Have lots of citrus fruits(vitamin C).
Hope I have answered your query. If more queries please be free to ask us. Have a healthy day!!!
