Gum disease: Very likely gum disease. See your dentist to evaluate. Can be side effects of medications but more likely bleeding gums signifies presence of inflammation. Gum disease does not hurt and is usually a chronic condition, very common condition. 48% of people above the age of 30 have periodontal disease and 10% are already in advanced age. See your dentist for periodontal evaluation.
