How do I stop my gums spontaneously bleeding and doing so at night?

March 30th, 2012
Q.

HI Mr Dunn, I’m currently half way through my second year at college and am seventeen. I’ve been having a few problems with my gums recently and whilst trying to research I found this site. I worried about my gums as I now think I may have gum disease. on occasion my gums bleed for no reason just spontaneously some times, it did it the other day in class which was really embarrassing. I have had to pull over on the bike when it’s done it and there’s always blood on my teeth in the mornings. what is this and how do I stop it?

Could my crowded teeth be causing gum problems?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi, I’m 20 years old. I have both my bottom wisdom teeth through which I think have pushed my teeth forward which has caused the very front middle one to come all the way forward on it own, the two teeth either side of it almost touch, my gum bleeds every now and again, I can go days without it bleeding then at any random time it’ll bleed quite bad where I have to spit it out at least 4 times or more! could it be gum disease causing the bleeding?

thanks

I have a sore area of gum above one tooth that bleeds when I brush. Why is this?

March 5th, 2012
Q.

Hi, the area of gum over one of my teeth is sore when I brush it. It also seems to have receded slightly. It is only the area of gum over my upper left cuspid tooth, it tends to bleed slightly when I am brushing it as well. Should I be worried about this? I am concerned that because it bleeds every time I brush it will not get a chance to heal. My next dentist appointment is not until april and i am wondering if I should bring it forwards.

My gums are tender and bleed from time to time, do I have gum disease?

November 28th, 2011
Q.

hello there I have a question for you please, when considering the symptoms that you see everywhere on the web with respect also to this website, of gum disease. is there any other symptoms to look for? my gums are really tender and bleed if they are caught awkwardly with a brush or sharp bit of an apple even for example. I wanted to know if this could mean that I have gum disease I know that bleeding gums is one of the common signs of gum disease and I did ask if there was anything else I should look out for but this is because I do not have any of the other symptoms so I wanted to just look out for any other signs if there were any indeed. if there isn’t does this simply mean that I am at not at an advanced stage of gum disease? thank you for any response.

October 12th, 2011
Q.

I’m only 19 and in the past few days i’ve noticed that my gums bleed when i brush as well as when floss. I always clean my teeth twice a day and floss everyday also. I have also noticed that one of my teeth appears to have gotten longer but i havn’t ever really paid attention to/noticed it before so i dont know if this has been sudden or not.
Is this likely to result in gum disease or is it more likely that i brush my teeth too hard day in day out?!
