Fluoxetine and bleeding gums

[pretoria]

Has anyone noticed their gums bleed at random times? Should I worry about this? I brush my teeth regularly and rinse with corsadine daily mouth wash yes I have random bleeding of my games quite regularly throughout the day? :/

Sometimes I can pull my finger out of my mouth and the end is wet with blood :S I know the rare side effects can be increased bleeding of gums etc which worries me as I have a peptic ulcer so don't want that to bleed.

Advice please? :)

I had my gums cleaned by the hygenist as i had gum disease and they stopped bleeding altogether but last week i got a popcorn kernal stuck between my teeth and the bleeding was unreal.

try the stronger corsodoyl..also there is a gel in boots called gengigel.its brilliant stuff.

might be just a coincidence with the fluoxetine....I get bleeding gums sometimes but my hygienist recommended those little pokey things for between your teeth as even though I use an electric toothbrush and mouthwash I was still getting the plaque build up and those interdental things stop it building up and stop gum bleeding which can lead to gum disease.

Yeah I think it was a coincidence as I have stepped up my oral hygiene, (spit don't rinse, brushing the gums more and the gum line) I also floss a lot more thoroughly and use Corsodyl.

Thanks guys :)
