Why would have excessive gum bleeding if all Oral Hygiene is good-no deep pockets etc?
Patient is on Pristia, Depakote, Zyrtec and multi-vitamins? Do these medications indicate anything patient shoudl know about because oral hygiene as stated is good.

Thanks for using Health Care Magic.

Read your query.

Gum bleeding can occur due to Depakote as a side effect. I would advice you to consult your Doctor to look into it and change the medication if the bleeding mentioned is more or uncontrolled.

Maintain a good oral hygiene.

Thanks and regards.
