Hi Dr. Dunn, recently I have been suffering from severe depression. I have always maintained the best oral hygiene but noticed that my gums are bleeding when I brush them now. Can stress actually have an impact on your oral health? Do you think it could be something to do with the medication I have been prescribed? My gums also appear to be quite red, I don’t know what course of action I could take, do you have any advice for me? Thanks for your time.
