What causes bleeding gums and pain in roof of the mouth?
Patient: Hello my name is joseph, lately my gums have been bleeding and hurting when I brush them. And they hurt when I eat and the food touchs the roof of my mouth. What is causing the roof of my mouth to hurt. And also I have red dots above my teeth on my top jaw whats that? Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The pain and bleeding in the gums could be because of the gum infection secondary to deposits or pulp polyp or any bleeding disorders like idiopathic thrombocytopenic purpura. Consult a oral physician and get these things ruled out. Get a complete blood investigation along with INR to rule out the bleeding disorders.If there is any gum infection then get your teeth cleaned and use topical gum astringents like stolin gum paint.if pulp polyp is there then get it root canal treated.If bleeding disorder is there then consult a general physician.I hope my answer will help you, take care.
