Doubt it: Probably not. But you could just take a daily multivitamin to be sure. How often do you floss? My dental hygienist recommends daily flossing. Do you have any other bleeding issues such as very heavy periods or easy bruising? If you cut yourself does it take a long time for the bleeding to stop? See your dental hygienist for a cleaning every 6 months.
