What Causes Blood In Mouth Every Morning, Sharp Pain In Mouth And Gums?

Recently I have been waking up with blood in my mouth some mornings and just assumed it was nothing. Now a month or so later, I have some sharp pains in my mouth and my gums tend to bleed while I'm in the shower. Is there possible a connection between the two and what should I do about it?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern...
As per your complain it is clear indication that you have infection in gums and infection leads to gum inflammation and inflamed gums bleed on slight stimulation..

The blood in mouth when waking up is also due to gum bleeding and gum bleeding occurs commonly in mouth breathers who sleep with mouth open and irritation and drying of gums due to continuous air exposure leads to bleeding..

Bleeding from gums during bathing is also due to irritation and nothing else..

Nothing to worry, consult a Dentist and get evaluated and in case if there is gum infection SCALING followed by antibiotics and painkillers and topical application of gum paint will help.
Chew a Vitamin C pellet daily as it helps in improving gum health..
Use an ultra soft toothbrush for brushing teeth as it will prevent injury to the gums..

As of now you can take anti-inflammatory painkiller like IBUPROFEN for relieving pain in mouth and gums..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards..
