Gum bleeding

My gums bleed on most of the days of the month but I don't have any kind of pain. I'm attaching the picture of the place from where the blood's coming out. I had my last dental cleaning on the month of May,2022. What should be next steps?

Hello dear See this bleeding is due to pericoronitis which is consistent inflammation around 3rd molars. It will be eradicated only by either extraction or operculectomy For further details you can consult me Thanks

Hello, According to the picture you have show there is the swelling of gum in the wisdom tooth area where the tooth is not erupted or about to erupt and there is food lodgement in that area which is creating a swelling and bleeding from the gum. Xray should be taken and see the position of wisdom tooth and further proceed for the treatment.
Next Steps
Go to the nearby dentist and get the X-ray done so that the position of wisdom tooth can be seen
Health Tips
Use mouthwash or warm saline rinses to prevent food lodgement and swelling

Sometimes a gap created  between the teeth and gums which is called pocket. Due to this food lodgement is there that's why you have a bleeding. You must do warm saline gargles as many as in a day.
