constant taste of blood in my mouth

hi folks,

over the past few days i've notices a taste of blood in my mouth a shitload of times.

also, when i brish my teeth, my gums bleed a lot. the might bleed the odd time, but not they bleed a lot..

and i've also had a few nosebleeds in the past few days.

anyone got any comments or anything?

bleeding gums is a sign of gingivitis. Do you floss?

go to the doctors. nosebleeds are bad if you get them regularly, and there could be something wrong which needs to be sorted.

as for bleeding gums, try using a softer brush and brush them hard & regularly. this will harden up your gums a lot. i used to have braces and they told me this and it works

also do you get nosebleeds when you sleep? Could be a sign of pressure or temperature change when you sleep, like sleeping next to a cold window in a hot room..

or something

I'd go with tu_face's advice. My gums used to bleed a little but then I started brushing harder and they got conditioned to it.

NOTE FOR ALL USERS:

Avoid teeth whitening at all costs.

Your enamel gets virtually destroyed and your teeth will decay quick.

well judging by the pic in your signature, i'd say you need to floss.







don't lie. that's you isn't it?

i'm afraid so

aah no, it's the worlds greatest songwriter - shane mcgowan from the pogues.

know the christmas tune fairytale of new york?? well, he wrote and sang that with Kirsty McCall.

back on topic, i'm not brushing my teeth any harder than i used to, and i dont really floss... *gets embarrased*

change in temperature eh?? .. we recently got heating into our little house / igloo, so maybe that has something to do with it? i noticed a bita blood one mornin alright...

either way, if i die i'm sure one of my friendsd will come on here to let ya's know

actually, my dentist told me NOT to brush my teeth really hard because it wears down the tooth enamel and makes them sensitive.
you just need to brush thoroughly and use a soft tooth brush.


you really should floss too. i'll be honest, i don't floss every night, but i do at least 3 times a week, which i know is way more than the average person. and i always floss after i eat red meat.

this may seem gross to some people, but i've even gone as far as to rip out a strand of my own hair and flossed with it, because i had no floss on me, and had something stuck in my front tooth.

maybe you shouldn't give her oral sex when its that time of the month.

brushing your gums helps to tough them up. also floss regularly, that is a must. i had the same problem with gums bleeding when i brushed and i got a presciption mouthwash from the dentist, and it is really helping. doesnt taste that awful either. it is called chlorhexidine gluconate.

i always have floss in my car so hopefully i wont be faced with that situation.

and david, FLOSS! and go to a dentist. blood in your mouth cant be good.

A long shot but perhaps there is something wrong in your blood. Either it's thinner or there are less platelets in it so it doesn't coagulate as easily as before. That would be worrying.

Seriously though, maybe you've just cut your mouth somewhere on the inside with a sharp crisp or something. If not, maybe it's a sign of gum disease. Well, not the full blown thing, but bleeding gums can be a sign that you'll develop it if you don't do something about it. My dentist told me that if my gums bleed a bit while brushing, just to keep brushing. Don't brush hard or anything, but eventually they'll stop.

Your nosebleeds are probably down to something as simple as your body overheating slightly. Your brain likes to stay cool, and so if your head gets too hot, it loses heat rapidly by making your nose bleed. I used to get nosebleeds all the time as a child, and so I'm used to it.

Anyway, if you're still unsure, see the doctor. It cant be any worse than asking for advice from a load of clueless people on the internet.

j/k sly just had a weird vision of you flossing i'm going get some brown soap and clean out my brain

bleeding mouth -- your gums. please brush your gums.. if it is pink, then no doctor. dark red, i think you need to get some shots at the dentist. sorry, if you have fear of needles.

bleeding nose -- don't know. many possibilities. the weather. do you pick your nose often? do you pick your nose deep way inside? that may break a nerve in your nose, causing a nose bleed. or do you clip you nosehairs often? the scissors may have cut a nerve. the nerves inside your nostrils are very sensitive, if you want to know.

It means you're one step closer to death. You better get started on your will and other arrangements.

best typo ever!

I first thought that "Brian Tumers" was some guy!



anyway, in response to the question, it is most probably a gum problem. I went for my general checkup at the dentist a few weeks back, and although my teeth themselves are in excellent condition, the gums have become inflammed and sensitive due to the lack of flossing. So try flossing.

If you do it, and every time the floss breaks through the gap in your tooth and hits the gum and it hurts/stings leading to bleeding, then it will definatly be due to gum problems. Flossing with this problem will be unpleasant and long winded, but stick with it for a couple of weeks and not only will the taste of blood disappear but your oral hygiene will have inproved drasticallyl
