Hi,
Does anyone know how to deal with bleeding gums.. My gums bleed like crazy on some days, when I brush my teeth and even though I've gotten plaque removed/scaling, dental cleaning done and even, use a gum paint. They just bleed. Please help. My dentist keeps telling me that after getting scaling done, it'll stop, but it hasn't. thanks

    

Are you sure you don't have gingivitis? It seems like it. Try using an anti-gingivitis toothpaste.
It could also be that you have very sensitive gums in which case, you should try using a soft toothbrush.
I would check with a dentist in case you have a gum disease.

Yup, your dentist is right. You have periodontitis disease and if you don't get the scaling done, you can lose your teeth, it's that serious! Get it done. It doesn't hurt because they numb you. You'll see a noticeable difference right away. Believe me, I've been there.

Hi debby and esper..
