Bleeding tooth no pain
Bleeding without toothache can come from irritated gums, plaque-related gum disease, trauma, or a loose tooth and should be examined if it recurs.
The short answer
Bleeding without toothache can come from irritated gums, plaque-related gum disease, trauma, or a loose tooth and should be examined if it recurs. Gum tissue contains small blood vessels that bleed when inflamed or injured; a painless bleeding spot does not show whether the problem is mild or advanced.
