Lately, I’ve been experiencing unusually frequent gum bleeding, but I haven’t received any specific treatment for it before. Could you please advise which department I should visit for gum bleeding?

Bleeding from the teeth typically warrants a visit to the Department of Stomatology (Dentistry). Such bleeding may result from gingivitis or periodontitis; it can also stem from gingival papillitis or systemic coagulation disorders. You should consult a qualified dentist at a reputable hospital to determine the precise underlying cause and receive appropriate treatment under professional medical guidance. During treatment, maintain a light, bland diet and avoid hard or “heat-inducing” foods (e.g., spicy, fried, or overly rich foods). We hope this information is helpful—wishing you good health!
