Role of Dental Hygiene in Bleeding Gums

It is absolutely important that one should take good care of dental hygiene. Brushing one’s teeth twice a day, using a brush with soft bristles, brushing one’s teeth gently, drinking plenty of water, avoiding too much processed food and sweets can go a long way in helping bleeding gums. Another important thing to avoid is the use of tobacco in any form. Smoking and chewing tobacco are very harmful for the teeth and the gums. Chewing tobacco is also the leading cause of oral cancer.

Homeopathy for Bleeding Gums

At times, even after taking care of all the above mentioned things, the problem does not get better. In such cases, one has to seek medical help. In my personal experience of treating such problems, I have found that Homeopathy is very helpful. The homeopathic medicines work wonders and cure the problem pretty soon. Here I am writing about the commonly used homeopathic medicines for bleeding gums. These medicines have been found to be quite effective by me.

1. Merc Sol-One of the best Homeopathic medicines for bleeding gums with increased salivation

In cases, where there is increased salivation in the mouth, Merc Sol is one of the best homeopathic medicines for bleeding gums. The quantity of saliva is more than normal and one is often forced to spit. The gums are spongy and seem to recede from the teeth. There is soreness which gets aggravated on touch or while chewing. The bleeding occurs more frequently at night. The tongue swells and becomes thick. It takes the imprint of the teeth where it comes in contact with the teeth. Ulcers on the tongue may also be present. Decayed teeth are commonly present along with the bleeding gums. There may be bad breath which is often expressed as mercurial breath. The taste is sweetish and metallic. The thirst is increased.

There is a hunger for air or oxygen due to imperfect oxygenation of the blood. The tongue is coated white or yellow brown. Aphthae are frequently present in the mouth. Teeth are also sensitive, more so while chewing. The digestive system is weak. Eructations and heaviness in the stomach are frequent concomitant symptoms.

Sour taste and sour eructations frequently accompany the bleeding gums. There may be burning at the tip of the tongue which is aggravated by drinking or eating anything warm.
