Bloody painful gums, what should I do?
You should see a dentist. Bleeding gums is an indication of inflammation and can indicate multiple conditions ranging from gingivitis to other systemic conditions. Bleeding should gradually decrease with flossing consistently and correctly. Use of listerine, in addition to flossing also helps to decrease bleeding. You could also have buildup (tartar), that causes irritation (and bleeding) that can be professionally removed by a dental hygienist. READ MORE
