Suggest Treatment For Blood In Saliva After Waking Up
Good morning,my name is Robert, I woke up this morning with a slight taste of blood in my mouth. So I walked over to the sink to spit and noticed some blood in my saliva. Im not sure if this is due to maybe to bleeding gums or what not. However it s not every day and clears up after I have a drink of water. I m 40 and male. Any thoughts would be great.

Thanks for your query, I have gone through your query.
The blood tinged saliva can be because of the gum infection secondary to deposits over the teeth. Nothing to be panic, consult a oral physician and get it evaluated. You need to scaling done and there after maintain the oral hygiene after that. Do saline gargling.
I hope my answer will help you, take care.
