Without examining you and without knowing your medical history, I have to qualify my answer. Assuming you have no medical conditions that could be the cause, then your bleeding gums is most likely an immune response to bacterial plaque on your teeth and under your gums.
You should begin by rinsing several times a day with warm salt water, which will help reduce the inflammation. Next, you need to remove the plaque from your teeth. In my office, we strongly recommend an electric toothbrush along with a water irrigating device (on a gentle setting). At first, you will notice an increase in the bleeding, but as they begin to heal, that should diminish.
Next, I would recommend a visit to a dentist who can do a more thorough evaluation and help you treat your condition.
