How to Stop Bleeding Gums

Tuesday, May 19th, 2009

So how do you stop bleeding gums? Before answering that, we need to know what bleeding gums is. Bleeding gums are gums that bleed. You might think that that is a stupid answer but I guess our question was wrong. I think the better question is why would our gums bleed and is this a symptom of something seriously bad with our oral health?

Bluntly, bleeding gums is a sign that we are at risk or might already have gum disease. However this could also be due to the following:

  • Brushing too hard
  • Hormonal changes during pregnancy
  • Improper flossing
  • Infection, which can be either tooth- or gum-related
  • Leukemia
  • Scurvy

In this article however, we are only going to look into the gum disease angle of bleeding gums and how we are going to stop it.

Well, there are many ways to stop bleeding gums. We could do it without burning money or we could burn money(if you have lots of it) by buying proven products that could certainly stop our bleeding gum problem. Let us take at the first one. The natural and free way:

  1. Take a cup of water.
  2. Add a few spoons of salt and then mix.
  3. Drink it but do not swallow.
  4. Swish around in your mouth before spitting out. Do this every day after you brush your teeth.

There is also what they call the ‘Grapefruit Seed Extract’ technique. Since grapefruit seed extract is considered one of the most alkaline forming foods and because diseases cannot live in an alkaline environment, eating grapefruit seed extract kills bacteria that causes gum disease that would stop bleeding gums.

Additionally, as I said just now, there are many products out there that claim to stop bleeding gums and provide you with healthy gums. The best one I have tried so far is ORAMD.

Try all of the methods above and check which one works best for you.
