Bleeding Gums

[greenzin5]

My gums have been bleeding after brushing and flossing for about 6 months, and its getting worse.  I take excellent care of my teeth, and my dentist tells me after a recent visit that I have no signs of gingivitis or dental disease. I have minimal tartar, and I see a dentist regularly. At his request, I had a number of blood tests, all of which came back completely normal (CBC, INR, AST, White Blood Cell Differential).  What Next?  Are there other blood tests I should consider?  If i have "beautiful, almost perfect teeth" (my dentist's words), is there any use in seeing a periodontist or oral pathologist?  All dental costs are out of pocket for me, so I want to avoid unnecessary exams.  I am a 47 year old male, in excellent physical health with regular exercise (cardio at least 40 minutes 3x a week), on no medications, have no underlying medical conditions of which I am aware, have no bruising or rashes or fatigue, have a healthy diet and take supplemental multivitamins several times a week.  Still, I'm spitting mouthfuls of blood every time I brush.

I don't know if your male or female but if you are female. I can tell you  that your hormones will make your gums bleed. If your not a female ,  hormones also?? I know my gums used to bleed when I was under stress or hormones acting out.Also dont' brush hard ..its really bad for your teeth. My husband brushes his teeth too hard it makes me hurt!!!

Are you using a stiff brush and brushing too vigorusly?  If so, you could be irritating your gums.  I have never heard of this, and this is all I can come up with.  Good luck to you.
