As soon as possible. Get an appointment scheduled. Continue to brush and floss your teeth. They may bleed but this is your body sending you a signal that something is wrong. You have inflammation. Use warm salt water rinses several times a day to cut down the bacterial load. If, you can take ibuprofen (medically) take as directed as the ibuprofen will help reduce the inflammation.
If you are noticing bleeding in your gums, you should see a dentist right
away. It can be anything from a small issue to something more serious and
it's always best to try to have it addressed early.
