Get yourself examined and get an IOPA done of the area. Lokk for periodontal issues that could also be due to improper crown over RC-treated tooth (if the tooth has a crown)

It’s not normal bleed unless you have a gum infection ! Consult a dentist to check the status of the completed RCT and see if you need any cleaning of the teeth which may be a cause of gingivitis ( swollen bleeding gums)

Hi.. Root canal treated tooth should not have any pain neither the gum surrounding the teeth should bleed. Bleeding from the gums may be due to food getting stuck in between the teeth continuously irritating the gums or may be due to reinfected root canal.
Next Steps
Visit the Dr and get it checked, Dr will check and address your problem.
Health Tips
If it is because of food stucking then you should maintain the area well by cleaning or changing the caps so that there is no space between the teeth. If it is due to reinfected root canal then re-RCT is required.

Hi, I suggest you get a full mouth professional dental cleaning done. A deep cleaning can be done in areas where the gums are swollen and bleeding.

Gum bleeding is not normal and If your gum is swollen with respect to RC treated-teeth, then it might be a case of reinfection
