Bleeding Gums: Usually a sign of gingivitis or periodontitis. You'll need a dental exam and treatment for that, not just vitamins. See a local dentist for care... left untreated you will loose your teeth.

You need a dentist: Bleeding, swollen and throbbing gums can be a sign that you are at risk for, or already have, advanced gum disease. Untreated gingivitis or tooth infection can lead to the bone graft loss and other health problems. See your dentist ASAP because the sooner you treat it the better the outcome.
