Inflamed gums
My gums have been bleeding for almost a month now, while brushing my teeth. Since a week, even when not brushing, slight pressure makes them bleed. And my gums feel numb all the time.

Please dont take this issue lightly. Bleeding gums could be a warning sign to periodontitis or an underlying vitamin deficiency. Unfortunately home remedies are not the solution for it. Visit a dentist so that your problem can be treated thoroughly .
