Bleeding gums are a common dental concern and can indicate underlying oral or systemic health issues. Occasional bleeding may occur due to aggressive brushing, but frequent or unexplained gum bleeding requires attention.

The most common causes of bleeding gums include gingivitis (early-stage gum disease), periodontitis (advanced gum disease), vitamin deficiencies (especially Vitamin C & K), hormonal changes, diabetes, poor oral hygiene, smoking, certain medications (like blood thinners), and blood disorders.

Symptoms of bleeding gums may include red, swollen, or tender gums, bleeding while brushing or flossing, persistent bad breath, receding gums, and loose teeth.

Homeopathic Approach to Bleeding Gums

Homeopathy focuses on strengthening gum tissues and addressing the root causes of gum bleeding. Some effective remedies include:

• Mercurius Solubilis – For swollen, painful, and bleeding gums with bad breath.

• Phosphorus – Helps in frequent gum bleeding with sensitivity.

• Kreosotum – Beneficial for spongy, ulcerated gums with foul breath.

• Arnica Montana – Useful when bleeding is caused by injury or trauma.

• Silicea – Aids in chronic gum infections and abscess formation.

Preventive Measures for Healthy Gums
