How is gingival bleeding? Gingival bleeding is one of the common symptoms in stomatology. It is easy to have gingival bleeding when brushing teeth in the morning. The toothbrush is full of blood. So what is the cause? What is the cause of gingival bleeding in children?
The light ones only suck, brush teeth and chew hard food with bloodshot in saliva, while the heavy ones bleed more or even spontaneously when their gums are slightly stimulated.
Healthy gums should be pink, glossy, tough, with a groove of only 2-3 mm. Inflamed gums will turn red and dark, swollen and loose, bleeding easily, and the groove will deepen.
Generally speaking, gingival chronic inflammation is the common cause of gingival bleeding, so gingival bleeding is more common in patients with periodontitis and gingivitis; but sometimes it can also be the oral manifestations of some systemic diseases, which should be paid enough attention. Most gingival bleeding is caused by fire. It is best to treat it in time to avoid infection.
In addition, children into adolescence are also prone to gingivitis. Adolescent gingivitis is also called adolescent gingivitis. The cause of adolescent gingivitis is related to the change of hormone in the body. After puberty, the level of sex hormone in the body increases, and the sensitivity and responsiveness of gingival tissue to local stimulation such as plaque increase. If teenagers brush their teeth carelessly every time, the food residue on their teeth is not completely removed, and there is plaque on their teeth and around their gums, gingivitis is easy to occur.
How to deal with children's gingival bleeding? Parents should treat according to the causes of children's gingival bleeding, generally including gingivitis, mechanical damage, vitamin C deficiency and other systemic diseases that cause gingival bleeding.
1. Gingival bleeding caused by gingivitis.
Parents should pay attention to children's oral health, brush their teeth in the morning and evening, or wipe their gums and gums with clear water and medical gauze after feeding. After 2 years old, parents can teach children to wash their mouth after eating, and urge children to develop a good habit of brushing their teeth in the morning and evening. The key step to reduce gingivitis is to keep your mouth clean.
In addition, if the caries has damaged most of the crown, there is sharp enamel tissue on the surface of the residual crown. Like a knife, it can also cause gingival bleeding. If you don't pay attention to eating, it is easy to pierce the bone into the gum, which can also cause gum bleeding. These two types of gingival bleeding only occur on the gums of individual teeth. Once the residual crown is removed and the bone spur is removed, the bleeding will stop.
2. Gum bleeding caused by mechanical injury.
Parents should choose a toothbrush for their children, preferably 2 rows of 6 bundles of children's toothbrush. This kind of toothbrush can prevent the mechanical damage of gingiva, remove the food residue and plaque between gingiva, and effectively prevent gingivitis and gingival bleeding.
Teach children the right way to brush their teeth. When they are 3 years old, they can learn the right way to brush their teeth -- vertical brushing, that is, brush up and down along the teeth seam, brush down the upper teeth, brush up the lower teeth, and brush inside and outside the teeth.
3. Gum bleeding caused by vitamin C deficiency.
If it is lack of vitamin C, in addition to taking vitamin C tablets under the guidance of doctors, pay more attention to supplement foods rich in vitamin C in diet, and eat more fruits, fresh vegetables or vegetable juice, fruit juice, etc.
