Sounds like he needs to see a gum specialist- I believe they are called periodontists. Good luck with that! Hope he gets better soon.

You could still be bleeding a little bit and what you're tasting is blood. I had my wisdom teeth cut out and I bled for about 3 days. when I began brushing again I was careful not to run the toothbrush over the sore areas.

SWOLLEN GUMS IS NEVER ACCEPTABLE OR NORMAL.  let the nurse stick with nursing.  maybe salt water has miracle properties at the hospital but in your mouth it does nothing.  go to the dentist immediately.  if you wait you might end up in the ER with a serious infection and then the dentist after that anyway.  talk about expensive.  don't wait til it's something serious and you lose a tooth.

see a dentist is a really good answer, they can usually fit you in on short notice,, x-rays and exams are not too expensive,,,,try switching to colgate it is really good for gingivitus and plaque,,, \n\n i used to always have bleeding gums switched to electric (fancy) toothbrush and colgated and bleeding gums went away,,, last check up had a dentist comment on how well my teeth were taken care of,,, (real shocker coming from someone who would make more money by saying i had lots of problems) needless to say bleeding gums gone been checked up and bad breath left also,,,, hmmm

Well make sure that you floss everyday aleast once day. Brush your teeth 2 twice a day also use listerine mouth wash. Reason why you are bleedig is because you might be either brushing to hard or you might have gum disease.  Check with your dentist

If there is blood in his stool then something in his digestive system is bleeding. If he is coughing up blood his upper digestive system is bleeding or his lungs are. Both GI (digestive system) bleeding and bleeding from the lungs are extremely serious and can be potientially life threatening. Please go to the ER or a doctors office immeadiately. I have never seen a minor bleed from either of these areas.

I just had my wisdom's out about 2 weeks ago. They STILL hurt a little bit! But yeah, at first I was taking the pain medicine basically to sleep. My dentist told me to take 3 advil liqui-gels ALONG WITH they  pain meds. Just make sure u have some food in your stomach, like a Slim Fast or some pudding is enough. That's all I could eat...that and mashed potatoes. Now, when I try to eat regular foods, it feels like my jaw is being ripped apart. I cannot open it very wide at all without some discomfort. They told me it was normal and it would go away.. OH YEAH, I also still have my blod clots..the gums are not healing over yet...I don't know when they are supposed to heal completely..I heard a co-worker say it took them 6 months to heal over!!!

most probably your problem is called gingivitis bleeding is one parameter of gum deaseas and also color of your gum ...\nyou had better visit your dentist for professional cleaning which is usually solved gingivitis problem in that visit after cleaning your gum can be healthy by itself \nbut if you are late to visit your dentist  you may lost your teeth because of gum deaseas

during the time of having braces it is even more important to clean thorougly and get regular checkups with your general dentist and hygienist for regular cleanings. anytime you have swelling and bleeding it is caused from food not being cleaned out properly, and it sits under your gums causing them to become infected (swelling and bleeding).this is just like having a thorn under your skin, dont take the thorn out...infection sets in...remove the thorn, it gets better. i would be willing to put my best guess on that youre not flossing everyday. you need to do this without braces and even more so with them. you may notice that when you floss your gums bleed this is normal (it isnt caused by flossing), its because youre gums are infected because of food and bacteria living in them. floss daily and warm salt water rinses 3-4 times a day will help to clear this up...and go to see your general dentist.

See your dentist.  You could possibly have periodontal (gum) disease which causes severe halitosis (bad breath).

You need to see a dentist  as soon as possible.  you likely have an infection...which can spread and cause systemic illness and symptoms.  Iyou do not have a regular dentist, get a referral from family or friend, call and tell them you are in severe pain and may have an infection.  Tell them you do not have insurance and ask if you can work out a  payment plan.  E.R. would be much more expensive and they would refer you to a dentist.   Wish you the best.

Well, decay from teeth cannot go into the gum.... but it sounds as if you definitely have a problem going on.  I would recommend you see a dentist as soon as possible to make sure you do not have some type of oral cancer or periodontal disease.  If you have an infection and it is left untreated then yes, it will spread to other areas of your body and if it continues to go untreated then ultimately yes, it could be fatal.

Are you on any kind of medications? Some will make your gums inflamed. If not, then it depends on the area of bleeding. If it is in the lower front and upper first molar area you may just need a deep cleaning. If it is general and all bleed and you aren't taking any meds it could be from improper nutrition. Are you a candy and soda user? Do you eat healthy foods? Do you get proper sleep? If not, start. Your dentist can tell you for sure what the problem is by looking in your mouth and asking you a few questions. \nGo see him, healthy gums never bleed.  Oh, and you may want to invest in a water pik, they are great and can keep the gums between your teeth clean and stimulated. Floss once a day too.

It sounds like something is out of whack. I know it can be hard to convince someone to go to the doc...but he needs to. Does he check his blood sugar at home? If so, you need to make sure hes checking it and that its doin ok. About his mouth-that doesn't sound right...he needs to go back and speak with the dentist or something because being a diabetic he has got to be able to eat. My father in law is also diabetic..pretty advanced and he has all sorts of "episodes" like falling, weakness, scrambled thoughts, mood swings and fatigue. Diabetes kills so don't worry about being "pushy" or whatever, tell him its for his health, his future so he needs to not wait and just go make sure everything is ok. Good Luck to you!

wow...you are in a mess...he sounds like he has more issues than his teeth....there must be a hidden reason why he is not taking care of his health. You also are at risk, can you imagine the germs he is carrying around and they can be passed on to you. In my opinion, call your city health dept. and see what services they would suggest. We have a dental school at our junior college and they have students who work under supervision on the patients. I believe the prices are very reasonable. If that is what is keeping him from going the money.  His dental health affects not just his mouth but his whole body. Just think if you were married to him?  If he is not taking care of himself now..what do you think he will do then. I'd give a lot of thought before I said...I do..to someone who says...I won't!

please go to your dentist, he'll check on it without payment because it is his duty to do it. do not take a risk relying on others experience,it might came out for her but maybe not on you. you're right that there's a possibility to have an infection. it's your health! Be safe!
