Hello, swollen and bleeding gums could be because of deposits on teeth surface or food lodged in between teeth. Visit a dentist and get your scaling and polishing done. Brush your teeth twice daily, night brushing is very important. Floss regularly. Rinse after every meal. Visit dentist every 6 months.

You should visit a dentist near you and get it checked, it might be infection in gums called as periodontitis, or it might be a sinus tract if any tooth adjacent to this infection site is grossly decayed.

Swollen and bleeding gums can be treated with basic gum cleaning called scaling and root planing followed by polishing.
