There are certain medications that can increase your risk of bleeding gums indirectly. It causes your gums to swell up making it harder to clean them, which increases the risk of developing gingivitis.

If you take blood thinners, you may be at greater risk for bleeding gums.Blood thinners include antiplatelet medications, like aspirin, Ticlid (ticlopidine), and Plavix (clopidogrel), and anticoagulants, like Jantoven (warfarin).Because these medications interfere with the body's ability to clot blood, taking them may result in bleeding gums, especially during some dental procedures.

If aggressive toothbrushing or infrequent flossing cause bleeding gums, this should resolve in about a week. However, if your gums continue to bleed, even with gentler brushing and consistent flossing, you may want to make a dental appointment to check it out.
