Why are baby's gums bleeding?

Bleeding teeth in babies are mainly caused by getting too hot. It is necessary to change the baby's diet and let the baby eat more vegetables and foods that reduce heat, especially in summer. When the baby's gums are bleeding, you should pay attention to the cleanliness of the gums, otherwise it is easy to cause gum infection. It is best to use mouthwash or other bactericidal and disinfecting products to rinse the mouth.

Causes of bleeding gums in babies

Getting angry

In summer, the yang energy is full, and coupled with the hot weather and irritability, people may not eat well or sleep well. If you don't pay attention to your diet, you are likely to get a sore throat. Getting a fever can cause your baby's gums to become swollen, painful and bleeding. Eating too much high-protein food is also a source of heat.

Nursing measures: Have a reasonable diet, eat more fruits and vegetables, and ensure adequate sleep. Drink more warm water during the day.

Accidental Injury

During the oral stage, babies often grab things and put them in their mouths. If the things in their mouths are too hard, it can damage the gums and cause bleeding.

Nursing methods: Local bleeding is temporary and the baby has a strong ability to repair itself. Just keep the mouth clean and provide proper care. It will get better soon.

Eruption of primary teeth

When the baby's deciduous teeth erupt, part of the gums will wrap around the teeth, and the baby will feel itchy, painful and other discomforts. At this time, the baby will like to bite things more and it is easy to hurt the gums.

Care method: Keep your mouth clean and rinse your mouth with a sip or two of warm water after each meal.

Improper brushing

Choosing an improper toothbrush, one that is too wide, one that has bristles that are too hard, or brushing too lightly or too heavily can all cause bleeding gums.

Nursing methods: From the age of 2 to 2 and a half, mothers should begin to teach their babies how to brush their teeth with a toothbrush, once in the morning and once in the evening. You also need to pay attention to the correct way to brush your teeth: brush from top to bottom when brushing the upper teeth, and brush from bottom to top when brushing the lower teeth.

Lack of vitamin C and B complex

Generally, when the human body lacks vitamin C and B group, the permeability of capillaries increases, and the capillary walls on the gums rupture, causing bleeding gums.

Nursing methods: Eat more vegetables and fruits containing vitamin C and B group. For example: cabbage, bitter gourd, broccoli, kiwi, strawberry, lychee, orange, etc. You can give your baby vitamin C and B complex, but not in excess.
