Hi my 2 yrs. old daughter have really bad breathe and her gum is bleeding. She scream when i brush her teeth. She also sucks her two middle fingers and they are beat up. I put ointment and band aid on them but she manage to take them off so she can sucks on those poor fingers. Why is my daughter's gum bleeding and how can i stop her from sucking her fingers (blisters all over them)???

Hi
In regard to your query,

1. Best way to clean their mouth is take a gauze cloth wrap it around your finger and gently clean his/her tongue coatings first so that bad breath will stop.

2. I assume he have an inflammed gums 'coz of improper maintainence of oral health gently brush his teeth by using soft bristled kids brush and kids toothpaste which has extra fluoride content or use same guaze.

3. Coming to the bleeding gums sometimes when gums are inflammed during eruption of teeth also may lead to bleeding.

Consult your pedodontist fir the best treatment if symptoms persist.

Hope I have answered your query ticyour satisfaction.
