Gums bleed when I massage/ suck on them
Hi please read,
1. I did deep cleaning of gums a month back because my gums was bleeding on brushing and when I used to kiss my partner
2. I am brushing twice and flossing with water flossed every night and I use mouth wash
3. I did xray and two dentist have told me my gums are perfectly fine and no decay or receding gums.
4. My gums still bleed when I massage them and suck on them but the blood is not as much it used to be like before.
5. I have pseudo gum pockets
My question is will this go away now will dental hygiene routine and since it is already a month does it stay for so long. I have revived smoking and I did my blood test I am physically fit and no issues.

Hi,
If the bleeding is reducing, I suggest you wait for some more time. If no change seen, meet your dentist and get a review done.
