What causes bleeding gums?
Patient: After eating a caramel yesterday I felt a unpleasant sensation on part of my gum. It was bleeding. Didn't pay too much attention to it. Today however still the same and when I press on it  a white/ yellow pus oozes out of where a tooth is set off line on my bottom jaw. I have been told that this could be the first signs of it about to fall out. Doctor: Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.The bleeding gums can be because of the gum infection secondary to deposits. The pus discharge discharge can be because of the gum or tooth infection. Consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You have to take a radiograph to confirm the diagnosis. If there is a tooth infection, it can be treated with root canal treatment. If it is a gum infection, then it has to be treated with scaling or root planing. Mean while you can take a course of antibiotics like amoxicillin and metronidazole9if you are not allergic)I hope my answer will help you, take care.
