Bleeding gums are most commonly caused by oral diseases, such as gingivitis. However, improper diet—such as frequent consumption of spicy or irritating foods leading to “excess internal heat”—may also contribute. Additionally, impaired blood coagulation function could be a potential cause. Therefore, it is advisable to visit the dental department of a reputable hospital for evaluation. If gingivitis is diagnosed, treatment may include ultrasonic teeth cleaning. In daily life, maintain good oral hygiene by brushing teeth and rinsing mouth regularly.
