Suggest treatment for bleeding of gums
Patient: My daughter is 6 and her gums are bleeding out of no where?  Is this normal?  She is really really good about her dental health, and it just strikes me odd that it just keeps happening.  It started about three days ago, and it will start then stop for a while after she rinses her mouth with salt water. Doctor: HiWith your qyery, bleeding gums is a sign of gingival inflammation which is due to presence of food debris leading to formation of plaque and caluculus finally results in gingival inflammation causing bleeding from gums. You didn't mention when the bleeding starts is it after brushing or after food? Does she have any specific time or situation for bleeding to occur? If you are sure about your daughter's oral health is good then there must be a vitamin C deficiency. So finally I would suggest you to visit a pedodontist. Hope this helps you. Till then she can continue warm saline gargling or a mouthwash like chlorhexidine
