A.
Healthy gums do not bleed when we brush our teeth. It is obvious that your daughter has a gum problem. Gum treatment is what your daughter needs but this needs to done according to a diagnosis. The likely cause of her gum disease is the presence of bacteria and calculus under the gums. The treatment may require local anesthesia. Antibiotics are not the answer if there is no evidence of an acute infection.
I advise you to look for a second and/or specialist opinion. hope this helps, Dr Jose Zurdo
