What is the best mouthwash to use for helping bleeding gums?

Evaluation needed: You shouldn't try to treat gum bleeding with mouthwash. 1st, get a clear diagnosis. It may be gingivitis (and this is not trivial). It could also reflect more systemic bleeding problems. Either way, you need a diagnosis, and probably intervention. If there are no other signs of easy bleeding, start with a good dental evaluation, then if more answers are needed, see a good internist.

Chlorohexadine rinse: A rinse will just tret the surface of the problem. You need to see your dentist to discover the source of the problem.
