Hello
Bleeding gums along with persistent bad breath is most commonly caused by plaque and tartar buildup leading to gingivitis or early gum disease. This usually improves with professional treatment and good oral hygiene.
I recommend visiting a dentist for a thorough examination and professional scaling (teeth cleaning). Continue brushing twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush, clean between your teeth using dental floss or an interdental brush, and gently clean your tongue every day. Staying well hydrated and avoiding tobacco products (if applicable) can also help reduce bad breath.
If the bleeding persists even after cleaning, or if you notice loose teeth, swollen gums, or pus discharge, a detailed periodontal evaluation may be required.
Wishing you a speedy recovery.

Based on your complaint,a dental visit is needed for proper evaluation of the gums and teeth and cannot be treated at home by using over the counter medications, mouthwashes or home remedies. After proper evaluation dentist may suggest for an x ray, and cleaning ( superficial scaling) and related prophylaxis will be explained. Based on severity of the problem or its cause after checking in person the treatment varies and will be explained before treatment.
Next Steps
Visit the nearest dentist ,a delay will only progress the problem and further lead to loss of teeth over a time period. Get you gum problem treated as early as possible .
Health Tips
Don't over brush .
Don't use hard brush
Don't use tooth much of toothpaste.
All these will not remove the problem until you consult a dentist

Hi, It seems like that your oral hygiene is not being maintained well. Clean your tongue everyday. Visit your nearest dentist and get tooth cleaning done. This will help restore your gums back to normal which will prevent bleeding on brushing

Bleeding gums along and bad breath is due to plaque buildup leading to gingivitis, and if not treatment may lead to periodontal disease.
Next Steps
1) Get teeth cleaning done.
2) Brush twice daily with a soft-bristled toothbrush.
3) Use chlorhex ADS mouthwash twice daily for 10-15 days, unless contraindicated.
Health Tips
If the bleeding persists even after cleaning and all these precautions, or if you notice swollen gums, loose teeth, pus, or pain, visit a dentist asap.

Based on your complain of bleeding gums and bad breath it is quite sure that you have gum inflammation that means your gums are swollen and reddish due to buildup of tartar and plaque in your teeth....but there is nothing to worried about this situation as it is curable and you need a periodontist who is the gum specialist.
Next Steps
you should visit a gum specialist as soon as possible so that the problem should not aggravate and recieve a full mouth thorough cleaning(scaling and root planing)..this will definitely resolve your issue
Health Tips
you can start with warm saline rinses atleast 4 -6 times a day if possible so that gum inflammation will reduce in the mean time and also massage your gums before going to bed along with brushing...this will increase blood flow to your gums and provide some relief
