Hello ,
It could be due to poor oral hygiene and food lodgement near the crown and gum area which irritates the gum causing them to bleed.
Get dental cleaning done so it would get cleaned properly and after that need to maintain a good oral hygiene in that area where your crown is fixed .

Bleeding is a sign of gum inflammation.
Kindly get an assessment to check if there is any discrepancy in the crown.
Gaps in the crowns or bridges can cause food lodgement and inorder to remove the food debris you may be brushing hard.
Use a water flosser to clean the areas adjacent to the crowns so that you ward off food accumulation.
Also check if the teeth are root canal treated and then crowned.
Next Steps
Get an assessment and xray done to rule out the cause.
Warm saline rinses can be done.
Use a soft bristled tooth brush and brush gently.
Massage gums to keep them healthy

Bleeding is because of infection in the gums surrounding these artificial teeth . Cause of infection is mostly because of food lodgement in the gap between the artificial teeth and your gums . You must do flossing to clean the gap thoroughly .
Next Steps
Get a thorough examination done by a dentist. It will help the dentist to rule out the exact cause of bleeding.

Hi.
Bleeding of gums is mostly because of poor oral hygiene i.e.if food gets stuck around your crowns or improper brushing.
You need to maintain good oral hygiene ,use dental floss,and visit your dental surgeon every 6 months ( Regular check up)
