Suggest treatment for gum disease
Patient: hello during the past three weeks i have been waking up with qiuet a large amount of blood in my mouth  i was treated a week ago by my dentist who said i had gum disease i have been flossing cleaning as told but it still is happening  iim wondeing if this could be anything else  as it only happens when i wake up , i get a little blood when i floss  but nothing like in the morning  thanks   steven Doctor: Thanks for using Health Care Magic.Read your query.The bleeding in the gums suggest that you have gingivitis and periodontal inflammation which is usually the cause for bleeding in the mouth.In your query , you have not mentioned whether you have got your teeth professionally cleaned by your dentist , if not please get it done and then follow the correct method of brushing and flossing.Use chlorhexidine mouth wash for a while.If you have got your teeth cleaned by your dentist and still it bleeds more , I would advice you to consult your GP doctor to rule any systemic conditions which may be the cause.Hope this was helpful.Thanks and regards.
