How Can Bleeding From The Gums Be Treated?

I m taking antibiotics and rinsing my mouth with warm water and salt for a gum infection around the crown of my wisdoms tooth (bottom left) . I woke up this morning to a pillow with a small pool of blood. Still bleeding after a hour and some times I m spitting out dark thick spots of blood amount lighter stands of light red blood

Hi..
Thanks for the query..

It looks like there is severe Infection in the gum around the crown that is causing bleeding even on slightest stimulation..

As the crown is not removed and the area is not bring cleaned it is acting as a continuous source of Infection..

Soy suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and get the crown checked and if it is not appropriate it is to be removed followed by cleaning the area and a course of antibiotics should be initiated..
Doing antiseptic mouthwash gargles and warm saline gargles can help..

A properly fabricated crown should be placed for avoiding further problems..

Hope this helps..

Regards..
