My gums bleed every time I wash my teeth, is it because of my wisdom tooth? I also have oral ulcers at the back.
Dec 6, 2014

Dr. Zakia Dimassi Pediatrics
Aphthous ulcers can bleed every now and then, but the main reason is gingivitis or gum inflammation. You need to address this as soon as possible, otherwise this may progress to receding gums (the gums sort of shrink in size and no longer cover the teeth properly) and periodontitis, which is inflammation of the bony part of the tooth socket.
