Patient: Morning Doctor. What can be the reasons for my teeth to bleed always? my gums are also swollen , i even visit the denties to clean them and she gave me the follow-up appointment. Still my teet & gums are still experiencing the problem. What can be the reason? Doctor: Hi Dear,Welcome to HCM.Understanding your concern. As per your query  bleeding from teeth and swelling on gums which is mainly because of infection of gums which might be because of improper cleaning of teeth or food deposition between teeth. Gingivitis is the condition which can progress to periodontitis as well if you keeps on ignoring your situation. I would suggest you to visit periodontist once and get a proper prophylaxis for this. Tartar, calculus,stains and plaque on teeth are common causes of gum bleeding. Once plaque hardens to calculus, it cannot be removed using toothbrush and other home remedies. Get a professional scaling and root planning done and after that maintain proper oral hygiene. Do rinse with listerine mouth wash. Hope your concern has been resolved.Get Well Soon.Best Wishes,Dr. Harry Maheshwari
