Bleeding from a Tooth

Causes of Bleeding from a Tooth

• Pulp Polyp: This is the most common cause of true bleeding from a tooth. It occurs in teeth with large, open cavities, typically in children and young adults, where the inflamed pulp tissue grows out of the cavity.
• Trauma: A severe fracture that exposes the pulp can cause bleeding directly from the center of the tooth.
• Internal Resorption: A rare condition where the inside of the tooth is eaten away, which can sometimes perforate the side of the tooth and cause bleeding.
