Bleeding gums are a sign of gingivitis or periodontal disease. Left untreated, these can not just make your teeth fall out but also increase your risk of heart disease and certain kinds of cancer. Oral hygiene, a healthy diet with enough Vitamin C and regular dental care can stop gums from bleeding.

bleeding gums?

I'm trying to find out as much as I can about Plavex. My mother is now in a coma from rectal bleeding. She had 10 pints of blood given to her and now she has an infection. She is dying and is in her last days. SHe also was taking Plavex. Several weeks ago her gums started to bleed. She didn't know that this is one of the side effects. I feel that this is a very dangerous drug and that the side effects should be more available to people taking this drug.
