Bleeding gums can be a sign of poor dental hygiene, gum disease, or other medical conditions. Here are some things you can do to stop bleeding gums:

• Brush and floss regularly: Brush your teeth two to three times a day and floss once daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
• Rinse your mouth: Rinse your mouth with warm saltwater or an antibacterial mouthwash.
• Apply a cold compress: Apply an ice pack or a cold cloth to your gums several times a day, 20 minutes on and 20 minutes off.
• Use gauze: Hold a clean, damp piece of gauze against the affected area.
• Apply a turmeric paste: Turmeric has natural antibacterial and anti-inflammatory properties, so many people swear by it as a bleeding gums treatment.
• Eat more leafy greens: Foods rich in vitamin K, such as spinach, collard greens, kale, and mustard greens, can help reduce bleeding gums.
• Quit smoking: Smoking can worsen bleeding gums.

If your bleeding gums dont improve within two weeks, you should schedule an appointment with a dentist or periodontist. They can determine whether gum disease is the culprit and recommend the appropriate treatment, which may include improved oral hygiene at home, antibiotics, tooth scaling and root planing, osseous surgery, or laser periodontal surgery.
