FYI-Hydrogen peroxide is not for long term use (1-2 weeks only until bleeding is gone). To have healthy teeth and gums 1) Floss first to clean out food 2) Rinse vigorously with antimicrobial mouthrinse or 50/50 of water and H. peroxide 3) Brush (Gum & Teeth!) mindfully each area for 5x.
Salt will not kill the bacteria nor do you want to be free of it unless you want to live in a bubble. Bacteria in our mouth are good…just not too much! Nice to hear from you (:
Hiya,
Thanks for the advice it has helped a lot. Just a quick up date and question. No bleeding, brushing with electric tooth brush and flossing regularly. I found the hydrogen peroxide very good but after a while it left a fungal type infection on my tongue. So I currently use a antibacterial mouthwash in the evening after brushing and a salt water mouthwash in the morning after brushing. Will a salt mouth wash kill backteria? Excellent video and advice, Thanks.

The cause of bleeding could be related to erupting wisdom teeth. However, to be sure, floss or brush your teeth without toothpaste then look around to see where the bleeding is coming from. Bleeding in the mouth means open blood vessels for 400+ bacteria in your mouth to spread throughout your body. To stop the bleeding – brush the BLEEDING GUM AREA not the teeth!
Enjoy your Healthy Smile!
my wisdom teeth are coming in and im 18 is it possible my gums are bleeding a tiny bit because my wisdom teeth are coming in??

If pain is sharp then it’s tooth related (seek a dentist) and dull pressure pain means a gum problem. Some times popcorn kernels get under the gum tissue and it’s hard to clean it out. Effective flossing is very important try Youtube’s “Flossing 101″ technique. Do let me know things work out..
After I floss, one of my tooth hurts bad and I feel pressure on the tooth. It doen’t bleed but painful.Does it indicate anything?
Greetings!
I went to your website to find the MouthSoap’s formula to know the ingredients but it was unsuccessful. Could you tell us what’s in it?
Thank you for sharing ;D
Agreed, You do need to avoid acidic beverages etc. You can obtain a mouth swish that helps to neutralise the acid and restore the PH balance. In addition to xylitol which should ALWAYS be used instead of sugar, its imperative to take a Vit C supplement to restore any damaged tissue and to take CQ10 or Ubiquinol. Not all products are the same, research and trial and error have enabled to me to find one that DOES work.Thanks
Greetings!
Yes, healthy diet will ensure healthy teeth. Ex: avoiding acid rich beverages. However, remineralizing enamel surface can be achieved many ways. One of the examples is use of product containing Xylitol sugar (do search & read). Strengthening gums can be accomplished by massaging gum w/toothbrush or rubber tip for 5 sec each area. As for your Mouthsoap what is the ingredients/formular? Tom wrote ..Money I spent on a product that did not work. Luckily it had a 1 year guarantee.
Hi,
I agree, A thorough cleaning is paramount initially. Thereafter, it is imperative to obtain the correct formula to ensure that your teeth and gums stay healthy. A healthy diet is fundamental in ensuring prolonged health combined with cleaned teeth facilitate re-mineralization from nutrients in the diet/saliva and gums are encouraged to strengthen.

The bad breath/bleeding is often caused by years of tartar build up that leads to irritation, which leads to severe gum infection (ex:like splinters under skin). Your gums will not heal, even though the bleeding goes away (90+%) with flossing, brushing, oil pulling, and use of baking soda, (or The MmouthSoap!) until the tartar on your teeth under your gums is cleaned out thoroughly.
Hi, thanks for the advice. Still a bit of bleeding. Improving my oral hygene so hopefully time will heal. I am hopeful.
A question I have a permanent dental bridge. With a metal base to it, you can see about half a milimetre of the metal. Will the salt and hydrogen peroxide damage the metal in the bridge? Thanks in anticipation, will keep you informed.
Greetings!
FYI – the baking soda is little abrasive to clean off slimy plaque well & hydrogen peroxide kills bacteria on contact & disinfecting results in frosty & foamy (this is why only use 3x week only). As for the pain killer,they usually cause dry mouth (but bleeding gum?). Do floss then brush (gum & teeth) 5x each area and follow with coconut oil pulling for 5 minutes. The bleeding will stop within 2-3 days. let me know how you are doing..
Some additional information, which hopefully clear up my bleeding gums. I have been taking pain killers, solpadol, and a side effect is……….. Bleeding gums! so I will stop taking the pain killers and hopefully the bleeding will stop along with good oral hygine. Thanks

If you’ve been flossing & brushing with the mixture by now 90% of bleeding is gone, swelling is down, have sensitive teeth(use Sensodyne), right? 2 more weeks of healthy habits then do the scaling (much less post-op pain) tartar build up under gums are like splinter under skin that need to cleaned out for gums to get healthy. As for your kid, brush his teeth thoroughly for him with my technique..it should clear up within 2-3 days. Keep me post it how you are doing..
How does the mixture of baking soda, hydrogen peroxide and salt help with bleeding gums? I have tried it just now and it makes the mouth white and frothy. What is the science behind the mixture? Thanks. I hope it works.
First of all i am grateful for this info, Ive had quad scaling and root planing and its so painful, expensive, I traveled far away for a covered periodontist, I just cant do it ! So symptoms have returned. Bad taste on gums, bleeding.. Worst of all I believe my 2 year old (who loves to kiss) is showing symptoms of bad breath as well. I started using your rinse for bleeding and bad breath from the website for myself, is there anything safe for a baby to help stop this? I appreciate any info TY
Greetings!
All day you eat many different kinds of food..give a good cleaning at night. Old plaque & food left between teeth irritates gums & that’s why gums bleeds! Bleeding is an early sign of gum infection (contagious!)
Also, bleeding means there are open blood vessels for germs from your mouth to spread all over your body! Have you heard of…”Floss or Die!” ? Please read the comments I wrote on this page to help yourself stop bleeding & for Healthy Oral Habits! Let me know…

Thank you so much.
It’s been going great, and all the tips you gave me have worked. My gums barely bleed anymore and I’m not in pain anymore.
Thanks again TLC!
Hi, this very morning, my gums were all covered with plaque and it was red, everywhere. So i brushed it and my gums were a little pink again but its bleeding, is there a way to fix it? I think the cause of this problem was when i skipped brushing my teeth a for 2 days. Its swollen now and im very worried.
hello i dont floss just brush
i was eating beef jerky some of it got stuck on my teeth then i woke up and i saw that the gums are red
Greetings! Yes, on going gum infection can cause a fever and make you sick. Ex: What is the first thing a Vet do to a sick dog? Look inside of dog’s mouth! If your pills are antibiotics then yes it will help but you must keep it clean (even if it hurts and bleeds) by flossing and brushing to get better.
My suggestions:
1. Try Coconut oil to clean out infection
2. Mixture of baking soda/hydrogen peroxide/salt 3X a week.
Follow all above..bleeding will stop in 2-3 days!
Let me know…
