    5 Tips for Taking Care of Your Bleeding Gums

    Maintaining a proper diet and oral hygiene is crucial when it comes to taking care of one’s gums and teeth. It has been observed that once the gums begin to bleed, people often avoid brushing their teeth altogether, which leads to even more problems for them. To opt for better ways to care for your teeth and bleeding gums, you must take all the necessary steps needed to resolve the issue at hand.

    How to Care for Bleeding Gums?

    While the best thing to do in the case of bleeding gums is to consult your dentist, there are still steps you can take to prevent the problem from exacerbating further and even avoid it from occurring in the very first place. Following are some tips you can follow to prevent or care for bleeding gums:

    1. Brush and Floss Daily

    Often, people avoid brushing or flossing their teeth when they have bleeding and painful gums for as long as the irritation remains. But this only worsens the condition. You can maintain the health of your gums only by maintaining good oral hygiene, which includes both brushing and flossing. Most dentists suggest brushing the teeth twice a day, but people with bleeding gums must brush more frequently, for instance, after every snack or meal. Inflammation of the gums can be prevented by using a gum stimulator to promote continuous blood circulation to the gums.

    Flossing is also necessary at least once a day. Remember to floss on every tooth below the gum line to eradicate most of the plaque. This should be done before brushing to remove any food particles or bacteria that may be present between teeth that must not be left there in your mouth. The tongue is also a breeding area for bacteria, so it must also be brushed.

    2. Eat a Healthy Diet

    A balanced diet is necessary for healthy teeth and helps prevent gum diseases. Your diet must include whole grains, fruits, and vegetables since they provide the vitamins and minerals needed to avoid infections. Fruits and vegetables like bell peppers, kale, broccoli, berries, and citrus fruits are enriched with vitamin C and so are necessary for maintaining oral health. Calcium is significant for tough teeth and healthy gums, so the dairy products like milk, cheese, yogurt should be taken instead of soft drinks or other acidic beverages. This would help remove sugars from our mouth as well as bacteria and plaque. Foods rich in sugars or carbohydrates must be avoided because they cause the formation of plaque.

    3. Quit Smoking

    Many people are unaware that smoking also results in poor health of the teeth and gums. Tobacco found in cigarettes can inflame gums and cause disease. It weakens our immune system, making it challenging to combat infection while nicotine narrows blood vessels, decreasing blood flowing to gums, leaving them malnourished, fibrous, and swollen. It is essential to know that smokers are more likely to grow gum disease than non-smokers and often feel the need for tooth extraction since smoking makes the other treatments ineffective.

    4. Minimize Stress

    When a person is under stress, his body releases additional amounts of cortisol, which has adverse effects on the gums and teeth. It is responsible for decreasing inflammation in constricting vessels which cause hypertension. It weakens our immune system and makes it difficult for our body to prevent disease. Stress even raises adrenaline and blood sugar levels, which can cause diabetes. Stress levels can be managed by getting good sleep, working out regularly, and spending quality time with friends and family.

    5. See Your Dentist Regularly

    Last but not least, you must consult your dentist at least twice a year. Your dentist can best perform a thorough cleaning with professional instruments to cleanse the parts of your mouth that brushing and flossing cannot reach to clean.
