It requires proper oral check up to see the level of inflammation in your gums!
In my opinion dont resort on any OTC ointment or paste
Get it cleaned whatever tartar or calculus is present!!
I am stressing this, as bcoz of underlying bone loss, which you cant see! And eventually will result in loss of teeth
Next Steps
visit dentist

Bleeding while brushing is sign of gum inflammation. But the stage at which it is can only be decided after check up. It can be gingivitis or periodontitis. You need to see a dentist and then you may require scaling or further treatment like currettage
