Your symptoms indicate tooth sensitivity and gum weakness, likely due to imbalances in Kapha and Pitta, which can lead to inflammation and receding gums. In Ayurveda, oil pulling with sesame oil or coconut oil is highly beneficial for strengthening teeth and gums—swish the oil in your mouth for 10-15 minutes daily. Use a soft-bristled brush and herbal tooth powders containing Triphala, clove, or neem to reduce sensitivity and gum bleeding. Rinse your mouth with lukewarm water mixed with a pinch of rock salt after meals. Avoid excessively hot, cold, or acidic foods, and consult a dentist if symptoms persist for structural guidance.

Teeth sensitivity, bleeding gums, and minor gaps may indicate gum issues or enamel weakening. Try these Ayurvedic remedies:
Oil Pulling: Swish 1 tbsp sesame or coconut oil daily for 10-15 minutes to strengthen gums.
Toothpaste: Use Ayurvedic tooth powders with clove or neem to reduce sensitivity and bleeding.
Diet: Avoid excessively cold, hot, or acidic foods. Increase calcium-rich foods like sesame seeds and leafy greens.
Herbs: Massage gums with a mix of turmeric and mustard oil to reduce inflammation.
Consult a dentist for persistent issues and ensure proper oral hygiene with soft brushing techniques.

Oh wow, teeth sensitivity and bleeding are no fun. So, it seems like you might be dealing with a couple of things. Sensitivity to hot and cold, plus the bleeding and minor gaps — sounds like maybe there's some issues with both your gums and enamel. In Ayurveda, these could be linked to an imbalance in Pitta dosha, leading to aggravated dental tissues or maybe even some gum issues that we call as "Danta Moolagata Roga." This can losen the teeth and cause bleeding.
First, let's dive into some practical suggestions.
Chewing on sesame seeds might actually help strengthen the teeth and gums, funnily enough. You can take a teaspoon of those seeds, chew them up but don't swallow, and then brush with a soft brush. Also, Triphala powder is my go-to for everyting! Rinse your mouth with Triphala water. Just soak a teaspoon of the powder in a glass of water overnight, strain, and gargle in the morning. Feel's nice, right?
Sometimes, bringing down heat in your system helps. To calm that Pitta, you might wanna cut back on spicy foods, and include cooling things like cucumber and coriander in your meals. Drink coconut water while you're at it, it's naturally cooling and hydrating. Please avoid very hot drinks too.
For immediate relief, applying a clove oil to the gums where it's sensitive can be soothing. A small, very small amount on cotton, gently dab on the painful areas. No swallowing!
Brushing teeth with natural salt and mustard oil create an alkaline enviroment that might reduce sensitivity. Take a bit of both and gently massage it to teeth with fingers.
Minor gaps can happen due to inflammation or receding gums and for that, regular oil pulling with sesame or coconut oil could help. First thing in the morning, swish the oil around your mouth for like 10 minutes and spit it out.
But remember, these tips should complement not replace, professional dental care. If discomfort or bleeding persists, seeing a dentist is vital to rule out serious dental conditions. Gaps sometimes indicate gum desease, and timely intervention can make a big differnce!
