My Gum Bleeds When I Put Pressure On Parts Of My Mouth. Is This Gum Disease?

August 27th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas, My gum bleeds if I put pressure on parts of my mouth. I brush my teeth everyday but there is blood when I brush my teeth. Is this a sign of gum disease?
Is there anything that you would recommend to prevent this happening? I know that there are mouthwashes and certain toothpastes that can help prevent gum disease. I try to brush my teeth twice a day, but if I’m honest, I only brush once.
Thank you for taking the time to read this email.
Kind regards.

I Want To Know Why My Teeth Are Coming Loose And Why My Dentist Can’t Help Me?

July 4th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas, I want to know what treatment I would need to take to stop my teeth from coming loose. Some of my teeth are loose and also missing. I want to replace them so that I can smile again. I am 28 year old and I do not know why this happening. I have visited some dentists and they do not know what I can do and don’t offer me any treatment. Please help me. I also want to send you my X-ray of teeth to understand my case. I hope to hear your reply soon. Thank you for your time.

I’ve Been On Anti-Depressants And My Gums Have Turned Milky White. Have You Heard Of This Before?

June 2nd, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas. I’m having a bit of a problem, as ever since taking anti-depressants I have noticed that my gums are turning a milky white colour, only around the front of the mouth and they do bleed slightly. Can this type of medication have an effect like this on my gums? It just seems a bit of a coincidence that this is happening as I’m taking the medication. Is there anything you can suggest please? Thank you for your time.

Can You Give Me Advice On How To Avoid Gum Disease, So I Don’t Have To Worry About It?

May 6th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I’m really worried. Do sore, irritating, painful, sensitive, and bleeding while brushing often indicate that you may have gum disease, or could it be gingivitis? I’ve been wanting to know the symptoms for a long time. Will you hopefully give me advice on how to avoid this disease, so I don’t have to worry about anything? Please help me so my paranoia of this disease can be reduced. Thank you for taking the time to offer me advice.

I Went For A Standard Scale And Polish The Other Day And My Gums Are Still Bleeding. I Was Wondering If He Did The Right Thing?

March 10th, 2014
Q.

Hi, I went for a standard scale and polish the other day and my gums are still bleeding slightly. My dentist was already aware that I had gum disease and I feel he’s exasperated them now. I was wondering if he did the right thing? Giving me a scale and polish? I feel that he shouldnt have done it just because he was aware of my current situation. Is there anyway I can maybe file for a complaint or something? Would I have grounds to do it? Thanks for your help in advance!

My Gums Have Turned White And Gone Hard At The Bottom Ever Since I Started On The Contraceptive Pill. Could This Be Related?

February 24th, 2014
Q.

Hi Dr Mitsas. I know you may not know a lot about this but you’ll probably get this a lot so maybe you will! I have recently gone onto the contraceptive pill and since my gums have turned hard at the bottom and turned almost white in colour. They have been bleeding a small amount too. I don’t think this is a coincidence, it happened very shortly after I got my prescription. Can you please advise tell me if this is something you’ve come across before? Thank you for your time!

My Gums Have Begun To Bleed After Using A Teeth Whitening Kit. I Smoke Also. Should I Be Worried?

February 10th, 2014
Q.

Hello Dr Mitsas, I recently ordered a tooth whitening kit for use at home and it did say under side effects that my gums could become sensitive, which I anticipated. However, my gums are actually bleeding. But I do smoke, so do you think that this could be the reason as to why they’re bleeding? I just think it’s a bit of a coincidence that as soon as I begin whitening my teeth they start to bleed and I’ve never heard of this happening to anybody else before, what do you think? I hope you can get back to me, thanks.

My Gums Keep Bleeding And All My Dentist Tells Me Is To Change My Brush. But It Isn’t Working? What Else Can I Do?

November 25th, 2013
Q.

Hello Doctor Dunn, I’m 27 years old and I had noticed over the last few months that my teeth been bleeding when ever I have brushed them. They’re not particularly sore at all they just bleed. So I went to my dentist and he told me to change my brush to a softer one. I went back after 6 weeks with the bleeding not any better and my dentist then told me I was brushing too hard. My teeth are bleeding and changing my brush or softening my brushing technique is not making a difference. Is my dentist right or is there something else I can do about this. I’m concerned that it may progress to gum disease. Thank you.

My daughter doesn’t eat a balanced diet and i notice her gums bleed when she brushes, what do you recommend?

October 12th, 2012
Q.

Hello Jose, hope your doing well. I’m just a bit concerned about my daughters gums, she really doesn’t eat a balanced diet with fruit and veg and i know this can be bad for teeth and gums. We try so hard to make her eat the healthy stuff but she wont have it. Just wondering if there are any tablets or vitamins that would help her a little bit with what she’s lacking? I notice when she brushes her teeth a touch of blood sometimes comes out, this can’t be a good sign! Look forward to hearing from you!
