Hello!
bleeding from gums could be because of deposits on your teeth. Visit your dentist and get a deep scaling done. Brush twice a day and rinse after every meal.
Well Bleeding is not a normal symptom.Your friend might have inflammed gums or what we call it as GINGIVITIS.She should not neglect it and take an appointment with a "PERIODONTIST"
