Why do my gums keep bleeding?

Q: When I eat anything my gums bleed. It doesn’t matter what I eat. I can’t get them to stop. I don’t chew tobacco but I do smoke and I know I need to brush more often. Do I need to go to the dentist or what can I do at home to fix this?

A: I would suggest a consultation with a Periodontist for a full evaluation with a set of digital x rays. You should be able to get a diagnosis and treatment plan. Consider quitting smoking.
