Hello! Read your query.

You did not mention the medicines you are taking for hypertension.Some medicines like calcium channel blockers and blood thinners will increase gum bleeding rarely.

A poor oral hygiene will increase this incidence.You must get scaling done once every 6 months.
Follow a oral hygiene routine of brushing(twice daily),flossing(once daily) and mouthwash(thrice per week).

If this bleeding is significant , you must check with your physician for a change in the medication.

Reg. your mother, a poor oral hygiene reduces the gum position.This further reduces levels of bone attachment. This can be prevented by following a proper oral hygiene with good blood sugar levels.
