What happened when I woke up and spit up a few mouthfuls of blood?

If you wake up with blood in your saliva or feel blood in your mouth, but spit it out a few times and you are fine, it is usually seen in patients with periodontitis or gingivitis. Since the capillaries of the gums are very fragile and thin, a very light pressure may cause the gums to bleed under dry conditions or when you sip and lick, but the bleeding will not be very much, and may be gone after a few spits or rinses. It is recommended that the patient go to the hospital as soon as possible, generally need to register periodontal department, do the corresponding periodontal basic treatment, including scaling, and according to the patient’s situation whether to do the corresponding periodontal scaling, or even periodontal surgery treatment, specific how to do, according to the doctor’s examination before making a decision. There are also some cases, such as adolescents, or women during pregnancy may also appear this situation, to be analyzed on a case-by-case basis. If the bleeding gums are caused by puberty or pregnancy, no special treatment is needed, but the corresponding basic treatment should be done to remove the plaque and tartar, which are the causative factors of periodontitis and gingivitis in the oral cavity, and they will slowly subside after a period of time, and no special treatment is needed.
