Usually the indicates a gum issue. It could be as simple as needing a dental cleaning. It could also indicate a deeper problem. My best advice would be to go to the dentist for a cleaning, check up and X-rays . You can find out more information on my website at Metrosmiles.com
Bleeding during brushing is an indication that your gums need more attention to brushing and cleaning. Bleeding is a sign of gingivitis which refers to inflammation of the gums. This happens when plaque is left to sit in your teeth at the gum line for more than 24 hours or if you don’t brush your teeth every day. Ideally to stop bleeding gums I recommend brushing twice daily especially in the morning and nights and flossing at least once every night after brushing.
