Stop Bleeding Gums

Dental complications such as bleeding gums can strike at any time Fortunately, there are temporary solutions to relieve any discomfort, and ways to stop the bleeding until you can see a dentist

Here’s a simple tip to stop lightly bleeding gums Squeeze a warm or cold tea bag until it is almost dry Then, gently bite down on it, pressing it onto the bleeding area Keep the tea bag in place for about 20 minutes, changing to a new bag as needed

You will need to use a “regular” tea bag as it is the tannin in the tea that helps to stop the bleeding If you use herbal teas, check the ingredients to see if it contains tannin

If your gums bleed heavily or continue to bleed even after applying the tea bag you should see your dentist right away as this can be a sign of something more problematic that you should get attended to right away
