Why my gum always bleeding

Gums that bleed repeatedly often have plaque-related inflammation, but persistent bleeding can also reflect trauma, gum disease, or a medical condition.

The short answer

Plaque at the gum margin contains bacteria that trigger gingival inflammation, making tissue swollen and prone to bleeding. Bleeding can also follow aggressive brushing, an interdental cleaning injury, ill-fitting dental work, or less commonly a systemic problem affecting clotting.

What is the direct answer?

What does this question mean?

Brush gently at the gumline with a soft brush and clean between teeth daily with floss or interdental brushes that fit. Do not stop cleaning because of light bleeding, but arrange an examination to remove hardened calculus and check the gum pockets.

What can you do next?

Arrange dental care when bleeding continues, gums swell or recede, teeth loosen, bad breath persists, or pus appears. Seek urgent help for heavy bleeding that will not stop, facial swelling, fever, or difficulty swallowing.

When should you seek dental care?

Ask whether the bleeding is gingivitis or periodontitis, whether calculus or a medication contributes, and which interdental tool and cleaning technique fit your mouth.
