Hello ,

Thanks for consulting HCM

Read your query blood in saliva can be due to some reason like not having proper oral hygiene due to depostion of subgingival calculus or due to periodontal problem .
For this I will suggest you to consult oral surgeon for examination of oral cavity and if needed go for oral prophylaxis .

Inmeantime do warm saline rinses , maintain proper oral hygiene , use mouthwash regularly .

Hope this will help you.
