Hi
A simple round of scaling that is tooth cleaning by your dentist would takecare of your problem but due to COVID 19 situation you will not be able to visit your dentist.. hence have to rely on home remedies.
salt water rinses 3-4 times a day. and you can buy metrogyl gel for gums from your pharmacy and massage your gums with it 2 times a day for 2 weeks.

Hello Maam , Welcome to Practo -
Ya Maam its a common symptom of what we call Gingivitis . You can manage overall oralnhygeine by brushing flossing and using a moutwash but once a tarter deposits to your teeth, you will be needing a Scaling. That will eliminate stains and bleeding gums & foul breaths too.

Don't worry.After lockdown you have to visit your Nearby Dental clinic and get your teeth cleaned.I would advice you to
1.Brush your teeth with Sensodyne Rapid Relief toothpaste-twice daily-once in the morning and once in the evening
2.Apply Stolin toothpaste on your fingertip and massage your gums after brushing-twice daily
3.Rinse your mouth with Hexidine mouthwash-2 to 3 times daily-for 3 weeks
4.Brush your teeth following proper brushing technique-you can google search it
5.Brush your teeth with medium bristle toothbrush.

Tarter won't come out by brushing.
Need to get scaling done by dentist.
The mild bleeding while brushing can be avoided by gentle and correct brushing techniques with soft bristled brush twice a day after food. Make sure bristles do not hit the gums while brushing
Mouth wash: hexidine,use after meal, once in every 2 or 3 days.for 5 mins, hold 2-3ml of mouthwash in mouth and spit out. Do not eat drink or rinse after that for half an hour.
Next Steps
visit dentist, get a thorough scaling and polishing done.do not neglect.
Health Tips
