hope this helps....my gums were terrible and bled all the time. Once I began taking Calcium with Zinc and Magnesium the bleeding stopped. I still use peroxide and brush with baking soda.Replied by Entheogens (Palo Alto, California, Usa) on 01/19/2010
Okay. Besides flossing, which you need to do, buy some white oak bark powder (you can find it online or at an herbal apothecary, if you have one near you). Take a little bit and put it in between your lip and gum, so that it rests on the affected areas of the gum and sleep with it in there overnight. Do this for several nights until pain and swelling go away. This worked for me, in any case.
