You need extra Vitamin C for one. Sometimes we all get Bacteria in the lining of our Gums, and it causes the bleeding. Another way to kill the Bacteria is to rinse your Gums/Mouth several seconds with Hydrogen Peroxide. DO NOT Pull with it, and DO NOT swallow, spit it out, and then rinse and spit out with a little water. The best way is to let the Peroxide sit on your Gums a few seconds and foam up after spitting out the first time. Then spit out and rinse.(I used to work for a Dentist, this is what they do)
