High blood pressure? Bleeding gums?

High blood pressure may cause bleeding gums, but bleeding gums can also be caused by improper brushing, gingivitis and dietary irritation. Patients with high blood pressure may suffer from stiffness and poor elasticity of small blood vessels, which makes it easy for gums to bleed when brushing hard. And if the patient is accompanied by atrial fibrillation, thrombosis complications, may also need to take oral aspirin and other anticoagulants, the side effects of which will aggravate the bleeding situation, prone to bleeding gums. In addition, if you simply use a toothbrush that is too hard when brushing your teeth and use too much force when brushing your teeth, it may lead to breakage of the gum tissue and bleeding gums, so it is recommended to correct bad brushing habits in time. If poor oral hygiene gradually triggers gingivitis, some people’s dietary habits are prone to eating stimulating and inflammatory foods or supplements, smoking, drinking too much alcohol and other stimuli, may lead to pain and bleeding in the gum area.
