So all through my life I've had pretty decent oral health, I started brushing my teeth regularly around age 7 and kept at it since I've had a few cavities but as far as those go they werent bad by any means. I certainly couldn't tell I had any. On occasion through my life when I spit tgere would be a little blood, usually when I have a new brush n the bristles are stiff so i just put 2 nd 2 togother. However lately after I've moved in with my bf it seems to have gotten worse. Just now there was alot im my spit and on my brush. Now normally I wouldn't even think of putting the 2 togother but i know sometimes when he's sucking on a part of me there will be a small amount of blood left behind, usually happens when there's alot of bitting involved. And well it has gotten significantly worse sibce I moved here I'm naturally super concerned. Is my concerns even remotly founded? It is worth noting I haven't been to the dentist since I was 16 and I'm 21 in 3 montgs, I know I know I just can't afford it and I don't get benefits since I'm part time even though every week I work 40 hours. Just last week I worked 85 but whatever anyways so that could also b3 it and I'm just going Cray Cray. I dont know i I just need others thoughts

    I've always had to move from time to time due to certain assignments at my Waste Management Company, and I can tell you for sure that moving does easily make a person sick. It's probably just our body trying to get used to the new environment. My worst experience after moving was a high grade fever paired with tonsillitis. So yeah, oral health seems to be the most prone.

    Bleeding gums? Yeah, visit a dentist

    You should go to the dentist.
    Just avoid Steven Martin.

    It may have nothing to do with moving to another place. Symptoms of poor oral health can crop up fast, even when the cause of it has been going on for some time - weeks, months, even years. I'm guessing you already had something going on and it's just now noticeable to you. Unfortunately, many potential causes of chronic bleeding gums don't heal themselves and require some professional care.

    Do you floss? You are supposed to floss your teeth as well as brushing.
