Bleeding teeth and pain
I had gingivitis and for that I got professional cleaning in the month of May. I thought my bleeding gums will stop by that but it didn't. Everytime I suck on the left side I still see blood. Since past few days I'm having blood in my spit even after brushing twice, it's mostly happening after waking up from sleep. I'm pretty paranoid about it as I really can't see if my gums are bleeding. Can bleeding happen even after cleaning?

Hi ma'am,
I totally understand the trouble.
But this is not a condition where we call it as gingivitis..Now it has advanced to Periodontitis which is even more worse.
The superficial cleaning will not address the cause of this.
It will be better if you go for an investigation called OPG.
By reading the symptoms it may require a surgical debridement under local anesthesia and thorough follow up for 3 months.
Next Steps
Visit a surgeon or periodontist with an OPG

Hii... Bleeding gums after cleaning is still persists, that means there are chances that you could have tartar or debris deposition underneath your gums. Until that get cleaned properly, you will have the same issue.. You should use soft bristle brush. & You can book a video consultation with me for detailed history & diagnosis.
Next Steps
Get dental checkup again.

In your case bleeding gums may either be due to plaque accumulation below the gum line , which may not be cleaned properly,or due to vitamin C deficiency or Even due to underlying medical conditions.
Consume lots of vitamin c rich foods like oranges, lemon, strawberry,papaya, tomato..etc
Take - Becozyme C forte tablet for 30days ( everyday 1 tablet in the morning after food).
This should resolve your issue. If not consult a dentist for further examination and investigation.
