What are some safe medication or antibiotics for treating gum bleeding?
5 doctors weighed in across 2 answers
Gum bleeding: Bleeding from the gums, assuming it is not the result of a systemic disease, can only be treated with medication/antibiotics if it is done in conjunction with periodontal (gum) treatment. The type of medication used will be determined by the treating dentist based on the scope of the gum infection.
