Hello Sir,
A good oral hygiene routine consists of
1) Brush twice Daily ( Morning and night ) with soft to medium bristle tooth brush
2) Floss Daily after every meal or use a Water Flosser , this help remove any food lodgement in between your teeth where the bristles of your brush cannot reach
3) Use a Mouth wash
4) Clean your tongue
5) Get professional cleaning done once a year

Hi
Bleeding gums and bad breathe is due to deposits (plaque and calculus) in your teeth....Even though you brush regularly only 90% deposits will go by manual tooth brushing and the remaining 10% will statpy and it ll gets harder later(calculus) that you need to clean professionaly by dentists..
Next Steps
kindly visit dentist for further clinical examination and management

Bleeding gums and bad breath are sign of swelling of the gums. There are several reasons for swollen gums but the most common is poor oral Hygeine. This can be solved by getting Scaling done from dentist.
Scaling is a procedure where ,the plaque that has now become hard and is not removed by brushing, is cleaned with the help of an instrument.
You will be given instructions on proper brushing and how to maintain good oral Hygeine.
Also start brushing twice a day.
Next Steps
