Bleeding teeth, accompanied by bad breath is what's going on

There are many causes of tooth bleeding and bad breath, which may be caused by non-pathological factors such as poor oral hygiene. It can also be caused by factors such as gingivitis, periodontitis, tooth decay, and blood diseases.

1. Physiological factors

If the patient does not pay attention to oral hygiene or brushes his teeth improperly, food debris may accumulate in the gaps between the teeth, which can breed bacteria and trigger inflammation, causing symptoms such as red, swollen and painful gums, accompanied by bleeding gums.At the same time, it will emit an unpleasant odor, which is manifested as the above symptoms. It is recommended that patients develop a good habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening, rinse their mouths in time after meals, and avoid eating spicy and irritating foods, such as chili peppers, garlic, etc.

2. Pathological factors

1. Gingivitis: It is usually a non-specific inflammation caused by the bacteria in the plaque invading the gum tissue, which is relatively common in clinical practice, and usually has symptoms such as gingival congestion, edema, bleeding gums, and bad breath;

2. Periodontitis: It is a chronic destructive disease that occurs in the periodontal tissue, mainly caused by the long-term action of local plaque microorganisms on the periodontal tissue, which will lead to gingival recession, alveolar bone resorption, gingival redness and swelling, loose teeth, etc., and can also be accompanied by symptoms of gum bleeding and bad breath;

3. Dental caries: usually due to eating too much food with high sugar content, resulting in carbohydrates attaching to the surface of the teeth, causing bacteria to multiply and form cavities, when the degree of decay is deep, it will damage the pulp nerve, and then induce pulpitis, obvious toothache symptoms, and even cause gum bleeding and bad breath;

4. Blood system diseases: such as leukemia, aplastic anemia, etc., may lead to abnormal hematopoietic function of the body, and symptoms of bleeding gums and bad breath will also occur.

For patients with bleeding gums, hydrogen peroxide solution can be used for rinsing, which can play a role in anti-inflammatory and sterilization, and can also be treated with amoxicillin capsules, metronidazole tablets and other drugs as prescribed. If the above methods are not effective, it is necessary to go to the stomatology department of the hospital in time to identify the cause and then carry out targeted treatment.
