Causes of bleeding gums in babies

Can you understand your baby’s little thoughts? They will cry, laugh, make a fuss, or even act like a naughty kid or be unhappy. In fact, these little emotions are signals from your baby. As long as you can understand their hearts, you can be a good parent. Sometimes what is the reason for the baby's bleeding gums and what should we do?

There are many reasons for bleeding gums. Baby's bleeding gums are mainly caused by local inflammation, mechanical damage and vitamin C deficiency. Gingivitis is a common disease in children, mostly caused by poor oral hygiene and other unclean factors. Don't be afraid, just pay more attention to the correct way of brushing your teeth - vertical brushing, that is, brushing up and down along the gaps between teeth, brushing the upper teeth downwards, brushing the lower teeth upwards, and brushing both the inside and outside of the teeth. Parents should also choose a toothbrush specially designed for infants and young children, which should generally be a children's toothbrush with 2 rows and 6 bundles of bristles. If you brush your teeth incorrectly or use an incorrect toothbrush, or the toothbrush is too wide or too long, it can damage your gums and cause them to bleed. In addition, vitamin C deficiency can also cause bleeding when the pulp is touched, or even spontaneous bleeding. .

Reason 1: Local gingival bleeding is common in patients with gingivitis or periodontitis. In addition, gingival hyperplasia can also cause local gingival bleeding.

The second reason is that there is a shallow gingival groove between the gum edge and the teeth. When the mouth is not clean, a lot of decayed, softened and sticky food residues mixed with a large number of bacteria often accumulate in the gingival groove to form soft dental plaque. Over time, as the minerals separated from saliva are deposited in the dental plaque, hard dental calculus, also known as tartar, will be formed. These soft and hard dental plaques, also known as tartar, constantly irritate the gums. Together with the constant invasion of bacteria, they will cause gingivitis, which manifests as red and swollen gums and ulcers at the gum margins. The slightest touch will cause bleeding.

Reason three: In addition to gingivitis or periodontitis which can cause local bleeding of the gums, gingival hyperplasia can also cause local bleeding of the gums. Some young people have swollen and bulging gums due to unclean oral hygiene, and the gums feel soft when pressed with fingers. This type of hyperplastic gums can cover 1/3 to 1/2 of the tooth surface, and may cover plaque and tartar under the hyperplastic gums, causing frequent gingival bleeding. Taking drugs to treat epilepsy can also cause gum hyperplasia.

Reason 4: Some people like to brush their teeth with a large-headed, hard-bristled toothbrush, especially brushing horizontally, which is more likely to cause local bleeding. In addition, improper use of toothpicks, unreasonable dentures, sharp stimulation from the edges of caries, and hard food residues that are embedded in the teeth can also cause local gingival bleeding.

Reason five: Under the same conditions, people who have been deficient in vitamin C for a long time are more prone to gingival bleeding than ordinary people after encountering the above-mentioned stimulation due to increased fragility and permeability of the capillaries in their gum tissue. Eating more vegetables can increase the body's intake of vitamin C.

If your baby has bleeding gums, the main thing to do is to prevent the bleeding gums caused by local periodontal inflammation. The key is to learn how to brush your teeth. Choose a toothbrush with moderate hardness and softness. Remember to thoroughly clean your mouth when brushing your teeth. The fundamental thing is to remove the dirt accumulated in your mouth. If the bleeding gums are caused by systemic factors, you should go to a specialist hospital for treatment in time.
