Question : hi
my gums are becoming pale top and bottem and almost seem to be sort of withering away i guess. there is no pain or anything except sometimes when i do brush my teeth they might bleed slightly but doesnt happen often. they dont bleed themselves at all. but of course its still not normal.

Hello and thanks for your query.
I shall make an effort to provide you with good professional recommendations specific to your questions.
The first diagnosis revelation of bleeding gums in a normal medical history would be deficiency of vitamin c called Scurvy. Although variations do occur, bleeding occurs due to continued trauma apart from gum erosions that you might have.
Obviously, you would need a review. But, meanwhile - these might help:
1. Soft brush.
2. Citrus fruits.
Other diagnoses would have to be investigated clinically after physical examination.
Let me know if I have missed out any other concern in your question.
Yet again, I duly appreciate your query to me, I do hope that you have found something useful to help you. Please accept my answer in case you do not have follow up queries.
Sincerely,
