There is no toothpaste that will help with bleeding gums. It sounds like you may need to come into the office and get evaluated for a cleaning.
There is no particular toothpaste that will make a significant difference. There is mouthwash that can help with bleeding gums such as Listerine and Peridex (prescription). What is mostly important is to find out the *source* of bleeding gums from your local provider instead of trying to mask it. It could be Gingivitis, Periodontitis and or an infected tooth which all need a professional intervention. Best Regards,
If your gums are bleeding, the solution is not your toothpaste. You should always use the toothpaste that is ADA approved. The issue is the gums are being irritated by plaque or calculus buildup and to fix the situation you need a thorough cleaning.
probably parodontax. But bleeding gums is a sign of gingivitis and you need to get your teeth cleaned in the dental office
I like to use Crest Gum and Sensitive or Crest Gum Restore - there are several in the Crest line that help with gum bleeding. I've also found that rinsing twice a day with Listerine can help as a supplement to brushing. Nevertheless, your home care may not solve the problem by itself. You should see a dentist soon to determine if something else is contributing to the problem - such as tartar build up which needs to be cleaned off.
