Blood on tongue in the morning?

There are a few possible causes of blood on your tongue in the morning:

* Gum disease. Gum disease is a common cause of bleeding gums. It occurs when bacteria build up on the teeth and gums, causing inflammation and infection. Gum disease can be treated with good oral hygiene and, in some cases, antibiotics.

* Trauma. If you have injured your tongue, such as by biting it, you may experience bleeding. Tongue injuries usually heal on their own within a few days.

* Certain medical conditions. Some medical conditions, such as leukemia and vitamin K deficiency, can cause bleeding gums. If you are experiencing unexplained bleeding gums, it is important to see a doctor to rule out any underlying medical conditions.

* Medications. Certain medications, such as blood thinners, can cause bleeding gums. If you are taking any medications that list bleeding gums as a side effect, talk to your doctor about whether or not you should continue taking them.

* Dry mouth. Dry mouth can cause your gums to become irritated and bleed. Drinking plenty of water and using a humidifier can help to alleviate dry mouth.

If you are experiencing blood on your tongue in the morning, it is important to see a doctor to determine the cause. Treatment will depend on the underlying cause of the bleeding.
