Hi Bleeding gums is due to excessive deposition of tartar which impinges over the gums and makes it weak. First go ahead with general cleaning and follow a course of gum astringent and mouth rinse.  Post 2 weeks review , if requires deep cleaning needed.Take big Amla fruit daily once to avoid bad breath.
