Before making any dietary changes to stop gum bleeding, you must first find out the cause of the bleeding. Bleeding gums can be a sign of many things, from acute gingivitis to a more serious medical condition.

Many diseases and conditions cause symptoms in the mouth.

I would suggest that you first discuss your concerns with your dentist. He or she can ask questions and make recommendations to you. Your dentist can look at X-rays and talk with you about how often you brush and floss. This will help your dentist decide if the bleeding is caused by improper tooth brushing, gingivitis or periodontitis. Also, some medicines can make your gums swell, which can lead to bleeding gums.

Once you discover the cause of the bleeding, you can work with your dentist or doctor to come up with a plan to stop it.
