Can excessive internal heat (fire) cause gum bleeding?

Heatiness may cause gum bleeding. When the body is in a state of heatiness, the body's resistance is relatively weakened, making it easier for bacteria in the mouth to multiply and cause inflammation. Gingivitis is one of the common oral inflammations. When the gums are affected by inflammation, they become red, swollen, and congested. At this point, once stimulated by external factors such as brushing teeth or consuming irritating foods, the capillaries on the gums may rupture, leading to gum bleeding. Maintaining good living and dietary habits can help prevent heatiness and reduce the risk of gum bleeding. If gum bleeding occurs due to heatiness, in addition to stopping the bleeding promptly, attention should also be paid to oral hygiene to avoid worsening infection.
