A. Hi many thanks for your enquiry, this sounds like a case of gingivitis(inflammation of your gums), it is usually a sign that your gums are unhealthy and need more professional attention. my advice would be to go to your dentist and have a check up but advise him or her of your bleeding gums so a full assessment can be performed. it is not a major problem as long as its seen to quickly and can be corrected with a few visits to the hygenist. hope this is helpful.
