my gums wont stop bleeding?


recently my body's been going through a lot, and I think I'm just shutting down, but for some reason my gums will randomly start to bleed, and I don't know why... anyone have any good suggestions?! Come on dentists! I know you're out there!
Best answer:
What's your diet like? Bleeding gums can indicate some vitamin deficiencies, most notably Vitamin C. If you smoke, you cause more depletion of vit. c from your body, too.

Wouldn't hurt to see a dentist, but you might try eating more fresh fruits and vegs, or taking a vitamind C supplement (they are very cheap).
