What to do if your gums bleed and you have bad breath?

Bleeding gums are also accompanied by bad breath, which is a common problem in life. Many reasons may cause this situation, such as some oral diseases and getting angry. As for what to do about bad breath when gums bleed, you should pay attention to oral hygiene while taking medication.

1. Medication

Oral care should be strengthened for patients with necrotizing gingivitis. The mouth should be rinsed with 1% hydrogen peroxide and 2.5% chloramphenicol glycerol should be applied to the affected area several times a day. Penicillin and anti-anaerobic drugs should be used systemically. Apply 2% iodine glycerol topically, and take metronidazole 0.2 g 3 times a day, or acetylspiramycin 0.2 g 4 times a day orally for 4-5 days.

2. Teeth cleaning

Everyone is familiar with ultrasonic teeth cleaning, which is aimed at removing dental calculus. Because dental calculus is more likely to cause the accumulation of dental plaque, causing gingivitis, bleeding gums, and periodontal disease. Therefore, removing dental calculus is a medical act. Of course, during the treatment, the calculus on the neck and adjacent surfaces of the teeth is removed, and the teeth will also appear whiter. The disadvantages of teeth cleaning are that it is more painful, more bleeding will occur, and the surface of the teeth is rougher after cleaning, and the reappearance of tooth stains and calculus will be faster. Finally, there is the possibility of infection.

3. Nutritional supplement

There are many reasons for bleeding, so the cause must be found out in order to effectively prevent and treat it. If it is a lack of vitamin C, in addition to taking vitamin C tablets under the guidance of a doctor, you should also pay more attention to supplementing your diet with foods rich in vitamin C and eat more fruits and vegetables. If it is periodontitis, you must take anti-inflammatory drugs under the guidance of a doctor and follow the doctor's orders for follow-up visits. You cannot stop taking the medicine at will. But in fact, after adulthood, the gums no longer get nutrition from the human system, so more problems will arise. Nutritional supplements cannot actually solve the bleeding problem. This should be a misunderstanding at present. If you don’t believe it, you can also try supplementing VC first.
