A.
Gum bleeding is caused by inflammation. This happens as a result of local plaque accumulation and in some areas after traumatic tooth brushing (trauma). If you have “thin” gums, there are local factors that can add to trauma (ex. lip and tongue piercings). The buildup of calculus close to the gum can also irritate and traumatize thin tissue.
An antibacterial mouthwash for 1 week-10 days can be helpful, but I DO recommend you to see your dentist and have a proper exam and appropriate treatment.
