Gum/teeth Bleeding Posted: 03-06-06 18:43pm
I was sitting on the couch about 10
minutes ago and I felt my top gum where it
meets with the tooth with my tonge and I
tasted blood. I went and spit in the sink
no doubt it was blood. It started
bleeding out of no where. What could have
caused my gum to just start bleeding?

It could be a dental problem - gingvitis.
And if so.. Your gums would most likely
appear swollen or red.
It could also be a sign of kidney
problems. Go see a doctor to be safe.
Good luck =d

Also it could be a sign of cavities.
The reason I say cavities is because when
you eat too many sweets or sugary products
your teeth began to bleed a little or alot
because when you brush your teeth you
didn't make sure all of the sweets where
out of your teeth.
Best thing I can tell you is to go visit
your dentist and get a root canal and
teeth cleaning check up, just to be safe.
