Bleeding gums can be reduced once you get proper scaling and polishing and root planning if required for your teeth..The gap can be closed with different alternatives depending on the condition of your teeth i.e composite restoration( tooth coloured filling on both teeth), veneers which can be composite or ceramic veneers or crown for both teeth..But after visiting the dentist the final treatment can be decided
Health Tips
warm saline gargles and use of soft toothbrush to reduce bleeding..

Gap between the front teeth can be closed by orthodontic treatment or can be easily closed using laminates or crowns. Get a proper opinion from dentist nearby. Bleeding from teeth can be resolved by proper scaling and polishing and then maintain the oral health as instructed by dentist

Yes for bleeding gums get scaling and polishing done regularly at least once a year. Gaps between your teeth can be closed. There are many options including direct composite veneers or fillings or ceramic veneers etc. Your occlusion needs to be checked before advising you
