I’m glad your son is doing better. Do tell him to brush softly & massage the gums -hard brushing can do lots of damage to his teeth & gums. Example: when washing hands covered with dirt, to clean it off, always use a soft toothbrush – it’s gentle circular motion & thoroughness do the best job with least amount of damage to the skin & finger nails! Do go to the dentist if you haven’t had a exam & cleaning for awhile. It’s like an oil change to have a dependable car, “the prevention”.

Greetings from TLC for Healthy Smiles!
To stop the bleeding gums try this new brushing technique:
1. Get a soft toothbrush (no toothpaste!)
2. Cheek side: Have toothbrush 45 degree angle toward to gums
3. Do gentle circular motion (each area 5X)
4. Tongue side: Hold toothbrush up side down -

5. Put tip of toothbrush in between teeth & wiggle
6. Must include gums when brushing
7. To clean plague & massage gums
8. In sequence not to miss any areas
9. Do it for 5 minutes while watching T.V.
10. It will bleed lot at first but less there after
11. Most importantly, need to FLOSS daily!
12. Watch “Flossing 101″ in YouTube
14. Bleeding will go way in few daysEx: What would you do if you had a cut in your hand? Keep it clean to get better, right!
Enjoy Healthy Smiles!.

Hi,
I have bleeding in my mouth from one particular side, i,e from the gums…I have contacted the dentist and she said nothing is wrong with my teeth or gums. She said just to brush regularly and floss .
she said there is no medicine to control it. Can someone else because it really causes bad breath. Please help. -

Greetings!
Your gums bleed for several reasons: 1) Possible food impaction under gums = try suggested “Effective Flossing 101 and Brushing Techniques” posted on this text comments. 2) Bad breath indicates severe gum infection = swish w/one table spoon coconut oil for 5 minutes to pull out toxin (make sure don’t swallow) 3) To stop the bad breath = mix one teaspoon of baking soda + hydrogen peroxide + sprinkle of salt in paste constancy and brush only 3X a week.
Let me know how you are doing. -

Greetings! Thank you for your support! I can’t believe how fast this happened after years of suffering. I had years of breath issues and bleeding. The rinsing of peroxide and baking soda that I felt in my gums and teeth was a miracle. The swelling went down and I can now floss easier! There is still slight bleeding.. I don’t expect to fix years of problems but I have to honestly say there is a tremendous improvement after 2 days with positive signs in day 1. Thanks TLC!!!

Hi
I have always had swollon gums, but a 3 days ago I got sick with a fever and I am now taking pills. My doctor said it could be a few things, but now my gums are in pain and bleed whenever I brush my teeth. Is it possible I am sick from my gums and will my pills stop the more swelling in my gums? And even if I am in alot of pain should I floss? -
#10 written by tlcforhealthysmiles 2 years ago
Greetings! Yes, on going gum infection can cause a fever and make you sick. Ex: What is the first thing a Vet do to a sick dog? Look inside of dog’s mouth! If your pills are antibiotics then yes it will help but you must keep it clean (even if it hurts and bleeds) by flossing and brushing to get better.
My suggestions:
1. Try Coconut oil to clean out infection
2. Mixture of baking soda/hydrogen peroxide/salt 3X a week.
Follow all above..bleeding will stop in 2-3 days!
Let me know… -

Hi, this very morning, my gums were all covered with plaque and it was red, everywhere. So i brushed it and my gums were a little pink again but its bleeding, is there a way to fix it? I think the cause of this problem was when i skipped brushing my teeth a for 2 days. Its swollen now and im very worried.

Greetings!
All day you eat many different kinds of food..give a good cleaning at night. Old plaque & food left between teeth irritates gums & that’s why gums bleeds! Bleeding is an early sign of gum infection (contagious!)
Also, bleeding means there are open blood vessels for germs from your mouth to spread all over your body! Have you heard of…”Floss or Die!” ? Please read the comments I wrote on this page to help yourself stop bleeding & for Healthy Oral Habits! Let me know… -

First of all i am grateful for this info, Ive had quad scaling and root planing and its so painful, expensive, I traveled far away for a covered periodontist, I just cant do it ! So symptoms have returned. Bad taste on gums, bleeding.. Worst of all I believe my 2 year old (who loves to kiss) is showing symptoms of bad breath as well. I started using your rinse for bleeding and bad breath from the website for myself, is there anything safe for a baby to help stop this? I appreciate any info TY

Greetings!
If you’ve been flossing & brushing with the mixture by now 90% of bleeding is gone, swelling is down, have sensitive teeth(use Sensodyne), right? 2 more weeks of healthy habits then do the scaling (much less post-op pain) tartar build up under gums are like splinter under skin that need to cleaned out for gums to get healthy. As for your kid, brush his teeth thoroughly for him with my technique..it should clear up within 2-3 days. Keep me post it how you are doing.. -

Greetings!
FYI – the baking soda is little abrasive to clean off slimy plaque well & hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria on contact & disinfecting results in frosty & foamy (this is why only use 3x week only). As for the pain killer,they usually cause dry mouth (but bleeding gum?). Do floss then brush (gum & teeth) 5x each area and follow with coconut oil pulling for 5 minutes. The bleeding will stop within 2-3 days. let me know how you are doing.. -

Hi, thanks for the advice. Still a bit of bleeding. Improving my oral hygene so hopefully time will heal. I am hopeful.
A question I have a permanent dental bridge. With a metal base to it, you can see about half a milimetre of the metal. Will the salt and hydrogen peroxide damage the metal in the bridge? Thanks in anticipation, will keep you informed.

Greetings!
The bad breath/bleeding is often caused by years of tartar build up that leads to irritation, which leads to severe gum infection (ex:like splinters under skin). Your gums will not heal, even though the bleeding goes away (90+%) with flossing, brushing, oil pulling, and use of baking soda, (or The MmouthSoap!) until the tartar on your teeth under your gums is cleaned out thoroughly. -

Hi,
I agree, A thorough cleaning is paramount initially. Thereafter, it is imperative to obtain the correct formula to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy. A healthy diet is fundamental in ensuring prolonged health combined with cleaned teeth facilitate re-mineralization from nutrients in the diet/saliva and gums are encouraged to strengthen.

Greetings!
Yes, healthy diet will ensure healthy teeth. Ex: avoiding acid rich beverages. However, remineralizing enamel surface can be achieved many ways. One of the examples is use of product containing Xylitol sugar (do search & read). Strengthening gums can be accomplished by massaging gum w/toothbrush or rubber tip for 5 sec each area. As for your Mouthsoap what is the ingredients/formular? Tom wrote ..Money I spent on a product that did not work. Luckily it had a 1 year guarantee. -
#24 written by themouthsoap 2 years ago
Agreed, You do need to avoid acidic beverages etc. You can obtain a mouth swish that helps to neutralise the acid and restore the PH balance. In addition to xylitol which should ALWAYS be used instead of sugar, its imperative to take a Vit C supplement to restore any damaged tissue and to take CQ10 or Ubiquinol. Not all products are the same, research and trial and error have enabled to me to find one that DOES work.Thanks
