will it help stop bleeding gums?

I looked up 'bleeding gums' and could see that there can be several causes. I would try this, because it seems to work well at fighting inflammation. But also see a dentist. I can tell you that I have had several flare-ups with three teeth that were bothering me. Two are fine now! & one is a little sensitive. Took a few months, but anytime they bothered me I used garlic slices & turmeric. So, although the dentist recommended a total of 3 root canals, I'm not planning on having any. Flossing is also important! and only takes a few minutes each night. In addition to using this toothpaste several times a day, have also rubbed turmeric powder on the gums before falling asleep. It's a natural remedy & spice used for thousands of years. It works to stop the inflammation. Can also put slices of garlic on the gums for 20 mins, don't swallow (use a tissue if you need to ), then rinse. Sometimes it stings a little, but really well worth it as it absorbs bacteria. I've just ordered this same brand of Neem mouthwash. (vitacost.com) Good luck!

Gums were pretty healthy prior to use but they have a more pink look to them. No bleeding when flossing or picking.

You will have to do research on that. I do know MSM can whiten teeth w/prolonged use & also helps to decrease gum inflammation by rinsing with the dissolved crystals 2 -3 times daily or by repeatedly rubbing the crystals onto the inflamed gum tissue. If it whitens teeth it can do the same for skin color. However, how much you will need to use & the duration, you will have to look up. Hope this helps.

Hi-- I've been using this for years, and I think it works much better as a preventative than as a "cure," which sounds like what you are looking for. If your cat has dental problems, then a veterinary cleaning is probably necessary. If there is infection involved, then the vet should be involved.

My mouth never got used to it. I stopped wearing it because it caused a small sore on my gumline (Where the blue part covers your back teeth). The more I wore it, the more it rubbed. Maybe if my teeth were taller it would not be an issue, but from my experience it did not get any better.

Can't say for sure since this strength started to cause irritation to my gums so I stopped using it.

It could help. I bought one for my wife who had a sore on her bottom and it helped take the pressure off the sensitive area. Since pain is pain anything that helps eliminate some pain may help a lot.

Not at all. My gums were sore and scratched from the hard plastic guards. After you boil and cut the ends off to fit your mouth, the rounded edges on the ends are gone. There are blood stains are my pillow from the drooling because these guards did not fit correctly. The plackers guard has allowed my gums to heal. I wear the thin strip on my bottom teeth just because it feels more comfortable for me. It took me one night to get accustomed to the new, very-much-smaller mouth guard and it is never tight. I can lay on my stomach with my hand under my mouth or on my side with my hand under my chin and I can't even feel the plastic strip. It stays in place throughout the entire night. Hope this helps.

Not really. I change around usually each night if I feel any gum irritation. I have been wearing for several years.

As I said, I have found It helpful for jaw tension. While I do not have tongue pushing, I would think anything that helped with jaw tension may also help with mouth and tongue issues. It is worth a try.

I don't know. I use it for gum inflammation and it's very soothing yet effective product.

Yes, I believe the brushing is having a positive effect. My cats are still young (3 years old) so their teeth are white but the vet last summer cautioned that their gums were red. I have been brushing every day for almost a year and the gums look good. I think that it is mainly the mechanical rubbing with the brush that plays the greatest role, but I credit the toothpaste's good taste with making the process so easy. Both of them wait for it every night.

Yes; the plaque buildup seems to be less. Each time I go to the dentist, they now comment about how little plaque buildup there is. I believe this is also helping the gum tissue not to recede. Ron H

I don't know but our Vet recomended it for our Dog and we have been giving it to him for well over a year now. It helps to stop cavities and so far it does it.
