Having Noticed Bleeding Of Gum During Floss

I have had something bothering my gum for about a month now and when I try to floss it out it bleeds really bad. I can see it enough to pull it out now but I'm afraid too. I have had alot of crowns in the front of my mout to make my teeth straight and white. And I think it may be a piece of porcelain or plastic my dentist missed. Should I try and pull it out myself or go see a doctor?

Thanks for using Health care magic.

Read the query.

The bleeding will probably be because of the gums inflammation (gingivitis or pockets),thus a slight provocation is causing the bleeding.

If u think or see there is a porcelain (which is unlikely ,or if there is some overhanging,it is not recommended for you to try and remove it out).


I would strongly recommend you to get the cleaning done from your local dentist.

Use mouth wash for a while.

Hope this was beneficial.

Thanks and regards.
