A lot of us pay little attention to our mouth asides brushing early in the morning and visiting the dentist when we have serious toothache. A few of us however floss and brush our teeth till our gums begin to bleed and we spit a couple drops of blood into the sink.
The thing however is that bleeding from the gums is not a sign that you properly brushed your teeth but an indication that you may have gum disease such as gingivitis, or inflammation of the gums. This condition usually results from a buildup of bacteria and plaque on your teeth. It is best to do all you can to prevent gum disease as it can wreck havoc to your oral health including tooth loss and severe cases heart disease.
Furthermore, brushing your teeth aggressively is not the only trigger of bleeding gums as a couple of other conditions can cause you to spit out blood after brushing.
Here are 5 conditions that can cause bleeding gums and the right time to visit your dentist.
Hormonal Imbalances
A fluctuation in the hormones in the body can cause you to have bleeding gums. Fluctuation in hormones normally occurs during menstrual periods, puberty, pregnancy and menopause.
This is because the body, especially the gums, naturally becomes more sensitive to plaque which can trigger bleeding.
The most ideal way to deal with this is to make use of a mouth rinse or use an extra floss set to remove any food particles stuck between your teeth while you wait for your body to regulate your hormones once more.
Chronic Illnesses
A number of chronic medical conditions such as leukemia, diabetes, HIV/ AIDS and a number of others can affect the immune system and lead to swollen and bloody gums.
If you find that your gums are bleeding regularly and you’re spitting out blood when you brush your teeth for a couple of weeks continuously, see a dentist to help determine if it’s time for you to see a doctor.
You’re On A Crappy Diet, Sleep-Deprived, or Stressed
Bleeding is more common among tertiary education students because most stay up late, are in a poor diet and are stressed from endless school work. All these things have an impact on the body’s ability to fight inflammation caused by bacteria in the mouth.
You can protect your mouth by eating a sensible diet rich in vitamins C and D, vegetables and proteins which especially help to heal your gum and bones. A faster way to get protection is to add multivitamins into the mix.
The Drugs You’re Taking
A number of drugs including blood pressure medications and antidepressants which particularly cause your mouth to become dry.
A lack of saliva in the mouth allows the proliferation of bacteria which will sometimes result in red, swollen, and sometimes bloody gums.
If you suspect that your prescribed medications are responsible for your bleeding gums, check in with your dentist or doctor about switching your medications or adding drugs that can help keep gum tissues lubricated.
You Missed A Spot While Brushing
It takes takes about a day for bacteria to make your gums inflamed. As such, if you don’t brush or floss your teeth for a day, you’d most likely notice a lift blood when you do.
If this is the case, brush your teeth well by ensuring the bristles of the brush get to all the sneaky spots where bacteria can easily hang out. This should stop your gums from bleeding anytime soon.
If you however brush your teeth well for between seven to fourteen days straight and your gums still bleed, it is best you see a dentist to determine if there’s any underlying cause.(360nobs)

Dbanj popularly known as ‘Kokomaster’ has refuted rumours that he was paid to perform with Mo’hits crew at Davido’s 30billion concert. The singer’s Mananager Frank told Punch, “Let us not get things twisted, not a dime exchanged hands for any reason. The entire performance was not motivated by money at all.
“It was Davido’s initiative, he wanted it to happen at his show so he went for it and he got what he wanted. He spoke to all of the former Mo’Hits crew members individually, they saw his point and they granted his request.
” Davido is a good kid, he spoke to every member of the Mo’Hits crew. He thought about having a Mo’Hits reunion at his show and he got it.
“It was an exciting show and D’banj loved the performance. He wanted the Mo’Hits crew to perform at his show because they were people he looked up to before his career started.
“He made a request and they all agreed that it could be done. Before the performance, everybody was backstage having fun and when they were through with the performance, they all went to the green room and the atmosphere was a lovely one.
“I was there with them and if you had the opportunity to have seen them bond, you would not have even believe that they ever broke up. There was no awkwardness at all. It was the same ambiance that surrounded them when they were still Mo’Hits.”
The Mo’Hits crew comprising of Don Jazzy, D’Banj, Wande Coal, Dr Sid, K-Switch, Ikechukwu and D’Prince split in 2012 over several internal disagreements.

According to Premium Times, the United States Ambassador to Nigeria, Stuart Symington, on Wednesday presented the Letters of Offer and Acceptance, LOA, in respect of the A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the Nigerian Air Force, NAF.
The LOA represents the official U.S. government offer to sell U.S. defence articles and services to the Nigerian government.
Speaking while presenting the LOA to the Chief of Air Staff, Sadique Abubakar, at NAF Headquarters in Abuja, the U.S. ambassador noted that peaceful existence in Nigeria was strategic to the security of the entire West African Sub-Region in particular and the entire world at large.
Accordingly, Mr. Symington expressed the commitment of the U.S. government to helping Nigeria completely defeat the Boko Haram terrorists and also eliminate all forms of terrorism from its territory.
In addition, he conveyed the U.S. government’s belief that the capacity of the NAF could greatly be enhanced by the acquisition of the Super Tucano Aircraft.
According to him, the U.S. government would therefore continue to support the NAF in its capacity building efforts, including the timely supply of needed aircraft spares.
The ambassador also indicated the readiness of relevant U.S. officials to work with NAF officials to facilitate the early delivery of the aircraft once payment had been made. In that regard, officials of both the U.S. government and the NAF would be meeting in early January 2018 to jointly study the LOA prior to subsequent endorsements by both parties.
The CAS, while receiving the LOA, expressed the appreciation to the U.S. government for its steady support towards sustaining NAF air operations. He also praised the personal commitment of the ambassador to ensuring that the Super Tucano aircraft deal became a reality.
Mr. Abubakar, an air marshal, agreed with Mr. Symington that the wellbeing of Nigeria was closely linked to those of other African countries, and indeed the entire world, as terrorism is a global phenomenon, which had to be confronted by all stakeholders. He then reassured the ambassador of the commitment of the NAF to the stipulated deadlines in the LOA. Furthermore, the CAS assured the ambassador that the NAF would ensure the readiness of proposed home base of the Super Tucano Aircraft in Nigeria before the aircraft’s delivery. He further said that the NAF would nominate and prepare all the pilots and maintenance crew to be trained on the Super Tucano Aircraft, ahead of their training in the US.
It is expected that the LOA would have been signed and necessary payments made before February 20, 2018 to ensure the commencement of production of the NAF’s Super Tucano Aircraft. It would be recalled that the US State Department had earlier approved the sale of 12 x A29 Super Tucano Aircraft to the NAF to further aid the nation’s counterinsurgency campaign.

According to Punchng, President Muhammadu Buhari on Monday stirred up a fresh controversy over his real age when he said he thought he was 74 but was told he was 75.
Buhari spoke when the Minister of the Federal Capital Territory, Muhammed Bello, led a delegation to pay him Christmas homage at the Presidential Villa, Abuja.
The President, joined by state governors and other top government officials, celebrated his 75th birthday penultimate Sunday. He was said to have been born on December 17, 1942, in Daura, present day Katsina State.
While thanking his guests for the visit, Buhari recalled the health challenge that kept him away from the country for months earlier in the year and admitted that 2017 had been a tumultuous year for him.
The President said he had recovered well from the sickness because he obeyed his doctors who instructed him to be eating and sleeping well.
He said, “I am very grateful (to you) for taking time out on a very important day to come out and spend it with us.
“It has been a tumultuous year. I am thinking I am 75. I thought I was 74 but I was told I was 75.
“I have never been so sick, not even during the 30-month civil war that I was stumbling under farm of yams or cassava.
“But this sickness…I don’t know, but I came out better. All those who saw me before said I look much better when I came back.
“But I have explained it to the public that as a General, I used to give orders. But now, I take orders. The doctors told me to feed my stomach and sleep for longer hours. That is why I am looking much better.”
Buhari said he appreciated the visit because he respects good neigbourliness both at individual and national levels.
He said that was why immediately after his inauguration as President in 2015, his first foreign trip was to Chad, Niger, Cameroon and Benin Republic.
“If you are in good terms with your neigbours, then you can make some savings for development.
“But if you start fighting your neigbours, then I am afraid the resources you have you will lose it in trying to be very clever.
“So I try to be very close to my neigbours both individually and nationally. I thank you very much for being very good neigbours,” he added.
The President admitted that 2017 has been a tough year for Nigeria.
He expressed the hope that next year would be more prosperous for the country.
