Can you advise me about my bleeding gums, as I have tried everything?

Friday, August 6th, 2010
Q.
Hi, Please can you advise me on my options as I suffer from bleeding gums and I have tried everything from seeing the hygienist regularly, daily flossing, using a waterpik and most herbal products on the market including Oram d but nothing has stopped the bleeding. I have had exrays by 3 different dentist and they say I just need to keep up what I am doing but the bleeding won’t stop. Do you think I should consider gum surgery as my gums are not pink, in some places they are more of a purple colour. I am desperate to sort this problem out. Please can you advise me on my options. Do you think I should see a periodontist? I cannot find any in my area! Any advice will be greatly appreciated. Thank you,
