My gums used to bleed sometimes upon flossing or water pic - I started using a mouthwash with claims to reduce placque and gingivitis and also supposed to restore or help enamel - in combination with a whitening and flouride tooth paste. Ever since my gums haven't bled (even with very low platelets). I was worried about passing the pre transplant dental exam ( I hadn't been to the dentist in a VERY long time) - but passed with flying colors and my gums and teeth seem pretty good.
