Gum bleeding and loosening
I'm noticing from last few weeks that while brushing my gums bleed, very less, but it does bleed almost every time. From last week I see my gums visibly loose from teeth. What could be the problem here?
Bleeding gums is a sign of gum disease. It's a silent disease which only manifests as bleeding or swelling and pain is usually not there.
Next Steps
visit a dentist for evaluation and treatment.

Bleeding from the gums is a sign of gum inflammation and is most commonly due to deposits of Calculus On The Teeth which cannot be removed by tooth brushing. You will be requiring a session of teeth cleaning by a procedure called as scaling for improvement of your gum health and relief of your symptoms. Schedule an appointment with your dentist for the same. Post operative maintenance in the form of meticulous tooth brushing is equally important to maintain the long term results of the procedure.
