Re: Bleeding Gums - Does H202 Do the Job ??

Should have mentioned earlier that if you are using anything but a soft toothbrush (hard or even medium) you can easily cause the gums to bleed.  Also with your soft toothbrush - brush your gums as well as your teeth.  This helps strengthen the gums and helps them to stop bleeding.  I switched to a Sonicare and brush my gums every time I brush my teeth.  Gums feel great afterward.  Any soft electric brush will do the trick.  I also use a Waterpik which helps strengthen the gums too.

Here's an excellent site on suggestions in relation to bleeding gums:
