Suggest Treatment For Recurrent Gum Bleeding

I have had a problem with bleeding gums even though I floss daily. Since using a new on the market toothpaste called Parodontax and continuing my daily flossing this condition has stopped. Of course I see my hygenist three times a year for a cleaning. The toothpaste contains 0.454% stannous floride. My hygenist says I should not use a toothpaste unless it has ADA approval on the label. This toothpaste does not. Is this formula safe to use?g

Hello and Welcome to ‘Ask A Doctor’ service.
I have reviewed your query and here is my advice.

Bleeding from gums is most commonly due to infection and inflammation in the gums. I do not think that Stannous Fluoride can be a cause for bleeding from the gums.

So, my suggestion is to consult your Dentist and get evaluated. You can be advised deep scaling followed by antibiotics like Metronidazole and gum paint massage.

Do warm saline gargles and antiseptic mouthwash gargles. Take Vitamin C candy daily.

Hope I have answered your query. Let me know if I can assist you further.

Regards,
Dr. Honey Arora
