Bleeding gums can occur in many ways. In general, chronic inflammation of the gums is a common cause of gum bleeding, so gum bleeding is most often seen in patients with periodontitis and gingivitis.
But sometimes it can also be an oral manifestation of certain systemic diseases such as leukemia, thrombocytopenic purpura, hemophilia, and chronic renal failure, so bleeding gums are not contagious.
And for the treatment of bleeding gums, the following options are available. For chronic gum inflammation, local irritants such as calculus and plaque should be removed, and oral hygiene should be maintained to promote periodontal health; for acute massive gum bleeding, emergency hemostasis is needed first, such as caulking, compression of bleeding sites, suturing of gingival papillae, periodontal plugging, etc., and short-term systemic application of hemostatic drugs when necessary, but should be strictly controlled The indications.
When gingival bleeding is suspected to be related to systemic health conditions, adequate attention should be paid and relevant tests, such as routine blood work, coagulation, liver and kidney function tests, should be performed promptly to provide comprehensive treatment measures for systemic diseases.
In short, bleeding gums are not contagious.
