What Causes Blood Stained Spit While Suffering From Periodontitis?

Hi I spit up blood, very small amount, basically blood stained spit. This only happens in the morning or when I wake up with a bad taste in my mouth which I have had since I can remember. I have periodontitis and am overdue for a clean but the blood stained spit in the morning I have not had before. Is it related to the gum problem?

Hi Dear,

Welcome to HCM.

Understanding your concern. As per your query you have blood stained spit while suffering from periodontitis. Well Periodontitis is a serious gum infection that damages the soft tissue and destroys the bone that supports your teeth. That is why you are having blood strains in your spit . I would suggest you to consult periodontist for proper examination . Doctor may examine you with probe by checking depth of the x-ray and order dental x-ray . Doctor may perform oral prophylaxis , root planning or may recommend grafting and prescribe antibiotics . For now maintain proper oral hygiene , do warm saline rinses several times a day and brush with ultrasoft brush .

Hope your concern has been resolved.

Get Well Soon.

Best Wishes,
Dr. Harry Maheshwari
