What Causes Blood In Saliva While Brushing Teeth?

So my left side of my bottom jaw has been hurting me for a week. This morning while brushing my teeth a clear mucusy liquid-filled my mouth after spitting it out. Blood-filled my mouth. After spitting out the blood the blood stopped no mucus was happening and my jaw stopped hurting. Why?

Hi..
Welcome to HEALTHCARE MAGIC..

I have gone through your query and can understand your concern.

As per your complain it seems that there is either a deeply decayed tooth that has led to dental abscess formation or deep infection in tooth causing gum abscess..
Due to pus formation there is compression of nerve fibres leading to pain..
As the pus and blood has drained off there is release of pressure and pain subsided..

But this can be temporary and the pain can recur if the cause is not treated..

So my suggestion is to consult an Oral Physician and get evaluated and a thorough clinical evaluation and investigations like x ray can help in diagnosis and treatment can be done accordingly..

As of now you should start doing warm saline gargles and gargle with antiseptic mouthwash..

Hope this information helps..

Thanks and regards.
