Yes it is a periodontal gum disease. Bleeding gums are a sign of gingivitis, or inflammation of your gums. It's a common and mild form of gum disease, and it's caused by a buildup of plaque at your gumline. 
To prevent bleeding from gums go for proper cleaning , brush your teeth twice a day, use fluoride contained mouthwash, consume vitamin c contained foods, prevent sugary foods and beverages.

My son accidentally swallows a bipilac tablet

Male | 13

If your little boy has swallowed a Bipilac tablet by mistake, don't panic. The most frequent symptoms of ingestion are upset stomach and perhaps some vomiting or diarrhea. The reason for this is that the stomach doesn’t like the pill. To make him feel better, make sure he drinks plenty of water and keep an eye on him constantly. It’s important to observe any strange behavior in your child and if there is any, call your local poison control centre at once.

Can tooth decay be reversed?

Female | 39

The short answer is “no” but the long answer is “sort of.”  Here’s why:


The earliest stage of tooth decay or a cavity is demineralized enamel. The outer layer of enamel becomes weak and soft, due to acids and plaque biofilm coming into contact with it on an extended basis.

Fortunately, demineralized enamel can — to an extent — be remineralized before a physical cavity (hole) ruptures through the surface.


What are some ways to help this happen?

  • Improved hygiene and plaque removal on an everyday basis
  • Protective dental sealants over deep grooves and fissures, which are someof the most cavity-prone surfaces
  • Drinking fluoridated tap water throughout the day
  • Supplementation with a prescription strength fluoride or mouthrinse, providedby your dentist
  • Use of everyday oral hygiene products that contain fluoride
  • Eating more fresh fruits and vegetables, sharp cheddar cheese, and fewerprocessed carbohydrates
  • Eliminating acidic beverages and those that contain natural or artificial-sweeteners

The types of cells that make up your teeth do not re-grow or repair themselves after the tooth is fully developed.

Once a tooth has a physical cavity (opening or hole) inside of it, there is no feasible way to help the enamel grow back on your own. Instead, the cavity will gradually worsen, due to the bacterial infection inside of the tooth structure.


Ideally, you would want to treat the cavity as soon as it’s diagnosed and while it’s as small as possible. When you do, your dentist can place a minimally invasive filling and preserve as much healthy tooth structure as possible.

But untreated cavities will expand to the point that they require larger fillings. Or worse, they will reach into the nerve chamber and create an abscess. What could have initially been treated with a modest restoration now becomes a situation requiring a root canal and a crown

Female | 24

I would recommend that you get to the dentist today. A visit to the ER will only offer a temporary solution. This condition would be treated by a dentist.

Why there is a bad odor from my mouth

Male | 18

Halitosis, the unple­asant odor from your mouth, can stem from various causes. Poor dental hygie­ne habits, allowing bacterial growth and plaque accumulation, ofte­n lead to this condition. Oral issues like gum dise­ase or dry mouth contribute too. Smoking cigarette­s, consuming odorous foods like garlic, can also result in foul breath. To combat bad bre­ath, practice thorough brushing, flossing daily, using antimicrobial mouthwash regularly. Stay hydrated by drinking ample­ water. Seek profe­ssional dental cleanings periodically for optimal oral he­alth.

A hard rock like round movable thing under my lower jaw in lower region of the molar teeth. Over 3 month .but not cause any problems.

Male | 22

There is a chance that the solid, round, and movable object under your lower jaw in the lower part of molar teeth may be due to salivary gland stone or lymph node. But it need physical examination to determine the actual cause.
